Generally, the more desperate the financial situation, the more I tend to fancy it up, breaking out bowties and spats as everyday wear, and eating anything and everything on the 'good dishes'...
This set of tea cups and cake plates created by artist Laurie Simmons is still one of my favorite decadent purchases of all time, and absolutely perfect for splitting a late night ice cream sandwich, yes?
Fawn Gehweiler's signature character based paintings, installations and works on paper have exhibited in galleries around the world and appear in a number of prominent private collections. Originally from Hawaii and currently based in the Pacific Northwest, her work combines the influence of a bohemian upbringing, sartorial escapism, and her own family tree.
Once described by The Face magazine as "the visual equivalent of candyfloss peppered with broken glass, delicious yet dangerous" and widely considered
a major influence in the recent explosion of young feminine art in the United States, her work hinges on a delicate balance of past and present, building obsessive narratives through personal artifacts that reflect the imaginary worlds of little girls, treading the fine line between wide eyed innocence and dark fairy tales.
