art appreciation

It's been a joy working sporadically with Asthmatic Kitty Records over the last few years. The whole lot of them that we've had the pleasure to know are simply good people, with clear vision and derring-do. They've just posted a kind news item about "Overgrown," to which I say thank you, and thank you.

The images above have nothing to do with me or AK... they're Alison Saar sculptures. I suppose I could form another post, but they're pretty eloquent on their own. All I will say is that I haven't seen her work for a while, and am excited about the newer work. She seems to be resonant with one of my favorite artists, Kiki Smith, but has her own voodoo-feeling spin.
