Line & Shapes - A Merry Little Shop.

Designer Lena Corwin wrote to let me know about a new line of books she is curating with artist Maria Vettese called Lines & Shapes. Each volume of Lines & Shapes has a different visual "jumping off point." Each of the participating artists work separately, having no communication with each other, to interpret the visual idea. Their creations are then designed into book form.



Aside from the artists' distinctive projects, books include other inspiring treats such as images of the artists current work, their studio or workspace (I'm always a sucker for peeks into studio spaces), their favorite things, self portraits and more. All of the work in the Lines & Shapes volumes is created just for the book; it is the first time the work is seen in printed form. No two volumes will be alike or include the same artists. The first edition for each volume of Lines & Shapes will be hand-stamped and numbered. Looks to me like a unique and special gift to any one special to you seeking inspiration.
