I have been scouring the internet looking at interior design blogs and websites. I have been on a kick of looking at arts & crafts, art for my ‘home’ and trying to imagine what I would do if I made money endlessly…. *sigh*
here is my inspiration
Can’t wait to bring out all of my scarfs and winter wear! Fall is one of my favorite times of year, it is such a beautiful season. Was scouring the internet on blogs and such for ideas, I think my colors for fall will be golds, reds, peaches & army greens. , here are some of my favorites

I have been fasicinated and in love with Roger Ballen’s work since I have began my own career/path through fine art photography.
Here is a beautiful interview with the man himself
Roger Ballen takes us on a journey through 25 years of his work documenting the marginalised rural communities of South Africa.
Here for the 17th Biennale of Sydney, Roger asks some of the big questions in documentary photography discussing objectivity and how to assemble the intricate details that tie a photograph together.
Ballen’s images have been described as dark, strange and humorous. He discusses the undefined territory between fiction and reality and how nothing is repeatable.
This artist talk was filmed on Cockatoo Island on Saturday 15 May 2010 for the 17th Biennale of Sydney: http://www.bos17.com/

I volunteer at The Museum of Contemporary Art Denver (MCA Denver) and they have installed a museum-wide exhibition featuring the work of Fred Sandback and has dedicated the entire museum to his work. The exhibition is a survey of his work and is quite beautiful and minimalistic, being that the artwork consists of acrylic yarn. It also brought my attention to the work and life of Fred Sandback which has been my number one goal with volunteering at the museum: expanding my knowledge & interaction with contemporary art. His sculptures rely on simple gestures, colored yarn strung from the floors, ceilings, and walls to create shapes but call attention to architecture, space, and how a pedestrian interacts and experiences the room. The exhibition in effect has caused attention to the museum’s beautiful architecture, similar to their last show Another Victory Over the Sun which both have an interesting contrast to the way the artwork has highlighted the museum’s architecture.
Here is a training video about the exhibition, our Associate Curator Nora Abrams speaks about the work
