Artist - Xenobia Bailey (and Todd Selby, Fanny Bostrom, my mother)

both images from the artist's blog

I just came upon the amazing artist Xenobia Bailey via her blog, xenba.blogspot.com
Her blog is fantastic, I reached it when seeking some traditional knit methods, she chronicles a wide array of events and artists of fiber form. Her work is stellar - the tent above from a show at the Jersey City Museum.


This above work reminded me too of a painting I saw earlier today at photographer Todd Selby's theselby.com interiors section, at the artists Fanny Bostrom & Bill Gentle's home:

I guess it is good to get to the source of the attraction.
