Maurizio Anzeri meticulously embroiders abstract shapes onto found family photographs transforming them into haunting, new portraits – an impressive combination of textile and photography. Stunning? Yes. A bit creepy? Yes. What’s not to love?! The Photographers’ Gallery have prints available.

Mr. Joe Kievitt is my new art crush. (And he’s from Maine.) Geometry abounds in his ink and mosaic work below. Via but does it float.

Autarchy Vessels

I’m back. Phew. Ok, my first post-holiday post. This impressive installation piece by Formafantasma features vessels made from flour, agriculatural waste, and limestone. The colours are added using a variety of vegetables, spices and roots. The piece, called Autarchy, is an homage to ‘the uncomplicated, the simple and the everyday.’ Excellent.
