Artist Commentary: Years ago while on a hunt for compositions to photograph, I came across a splattered wall. I was in an industrial area in northeast Los Angeles and driving through an alley behind some warehouses. I stopped in front of a wall that had tar running down from a roof that had undergone some repairs. The tar patterns reminded me of art by Joan Mitchell or Jackson Pollock. I took several photographs of the wall concentrating on the more gestural sections. Inspired by those photos, I created "The Tar Pits...

This flat shadow puppet was created by an unknown Indonesian artist. This shadow puppet, 20" high and 8" wide with movable, was used in Indonesian Wayang puppet shows. Wayang (Krama Javanese: Ringgit ꦫꦶꦁꦒꦶꦠ꧀, "Shadow"), also known as Wajang, is a form of puppet theatre art found in Indonesia and other parts of Southeast Asia, wherein a dramatic story is told through shadows thrown by puppets and sometimes combined with human characters.

Wayang refers to the entire dramatic show. Sometimes the leather puppet...

Carla was born in Rome on 23 April 1998. Since she was a child she has felt a strong artistic vocation and a great passion for fashion. For many years she searched for her way in the world of art through experimentation: cutting clothes, painting on canvas, writing... The spark was ignited in 2019, while Carla was attending fashion school in her hometown, when she and her family, who have always collected vintage luxury handbags, began designing her own flowers starting with roses. The following year Carla learned modeling techniques as a self-taught, beginning to elaborate on her vision and bring her vocation to life. Thus were born Carla's works, the perfect synthesis of her two great loves: handbags and nature's most precious gift: Flowers. Always a collector of handbags, as a child Carla spent her days looking at them, studying them and adoring them . Influenced by the currents of the early 2000s, Carla acquired a unique romantic pop style. Flowers are the other constant in her life and that of her family, the natural element that has always fascinated her. Roses as a gift from nature, as a gift for someone we love, as a gift for ourselves. Unfortunately short-lived. Her creations are Carla's answer to this urgency: to stop time and make the love of bags and flowers eternal. Carla gives her works uniqueness, creating special and unique boxes...
