Stanlee Gatti

Just got back from a nice NYC trip. Lots of interesting things to see, and happened to bump into the talented Stanlee Gatti while flexing our retail therapy muscles. It was a thrill to run into one if our favorite people.

Although he is best known for creating grand aesthetic experiences for countless events, we find his installation at San Francisco's Conservatory of Flowers, very poignant.

Toogood is too good

Wow, what a portfolio! The beautiful, surreal stylings of Toogood Studio. I tip my proverbial hat to this London-based studio founded by creative powerhouse, Faye Toogood. (Read her profile on Sight Unseen)

Toogood is too good

Art: Andy Goldsworthy

The work of Scottish environmental/land artist Andy Goldsworthy takes our breath away. Nature will always produce the most amazing formations, but Goldsworthy's simple manipulation of natural materials, often in their immediate landscape, is stunning. He then leaves these works to absorb back into the land -- a distinct comment on man-made vs. the natural ebb and flow of life. Watch excerpts from the documentary on this work, Rivers and Tides, below.
