Alice in Your Home.....Amazing Artwork

I can't wait for that very important date! Thank goodness it's today! I am thrilled that it is opening day for Alice in Wonderland.  I think me and the hubs are braving the crowds this evening in hopes of seeing the big, beautiful event in 3-D. In celebration of Alice, I present to you "Curious and Curiouser" from Nucleus Art Gallery, works inspired by Alice in Wonderland...

Art Crawl - 2 Photographers, Matt Schwartz & Liza Berkoff

First up is the very talented Matt Schwartz from She Hit Pause Studios.  As I love everything that has an old vintage and collected feel, I fell in love with his incredible polaroid collections.  I have referred back to his site several times for inspiration.  I love the nostalgia and "unedited" images that come from polaroids and his pieces truly capture that.  His work is described as "walking into a memory" and I think that perfectly describes his collections.

I could not wait until next week's post to talk about this second photographer.  I came across Liza Berkoff a couple of weeks ago and have not been able to stop thinking about her work.  I think she is an amazing photographer and the quirkiness and strangeness of some of her subject matter is what keeps me coming back.  I like to think of some of her work as "creepy cool", a term I use to describe the slightly off-kilter but amazing art and objects that I see that stick with me.  I would love to hear your thoughts on her work...


This one made me look twice.  And then 3 times and four.  I would love to happen upon these guys at a bus stop nearby.  Curbside by Liza Berkoff.

I would love your feedback and comments on the Art Crawl series and today's featured photographers!
