LINES & SHAPES, A BEGINNING
« Previous Main Next »
hi.
as i sit down to write i can hardly believe the time is here...
it is time for the beginning of a very exciting new project: LINES & SHAPES.
well... almost time. our website will be up & running tomorrow. but regardless today is the launch and i am so happy today to tell you a little about this project.
: : : : : : :
it all started last year when my partner in L&S, the fantastic lena corwin, and i somehow found our way to Lula {as you may know, Lula is a very wonderful swedish art and design collective}. being a very curious person, i inquired and elisabeth dunker graciously agreed to share with me a bit about what her Lula was all about. i hung on every word she emailed, shared those emails with lena, and we both felt the seeds of inspiration being planted.
thank goodness i am lucky enough to have a creative partner like lena who very much like me, enjoys talking about ideas and taking them in every which direction before landing them on the exact place where they need to be ... where they should be.
and that is just where we are — so, after nearly a year of planning and working, we're ready to share our project with you and we're thrilled.
in our words, this is LINES & SHAPES:
we create small books {6 volumes this first year}.
we are an independent art and design collective {creating new work for every volume}.
we are a rotating group of artists whose visions converge {4–6 different artists in each volume}.
we are always thinking of new ideas {each book will have a different visual theme}.
and lines & shapes connect us.

i know it may still be a bit vague since our website is not up but you will find out and see more about volume one tomorrow. and i am going to talk about LINES & SHAPES all week so i hope you'll join me to read more about the artists who are involved in our first volume as well as many other tidbits about our plans, process, etc.
thank you so much for joining me here on day one of our labor of love: LINES & SHAPES.
cheers, mav
