i really love the work of
michael queenland

i first saw his work in 2005 at the studio museum

"inspired by religion, english literature and the legacy of avant-garde art....especially fascinated by radical, reductive, and antimaterialistic impulses...interested in the ways the broad puritanical streak in the american psyche is expressed in innovative social and artistic movements such as shakerism and minimal and conceptual art"

i've had my eye on these porcelain bell hanging lamps by roost for quite a while now. they would be so beautiful over my kitchen table.

i apologize for disappearing for a few days. i came down with a pretty nasty stomach bug and am just starting to get back in the swing of things. i'll be taking a few days off for the holiday, but will be back soon.
