Iris Apfel once said “More is more and less is a bore.” If you’ve been following this blog for awhile, you’ll know that I proudly live by that maximalist mantra. So it’s no surprise that, for months, I’ve been collecting white, minimalist frames, just waiting for that perfect upcycling project.
Yes, another wall hanging. I hope you don’t mind. I couldn’t help myself! But honestly, this piece has to be one of my all time favorites. The idea came about while searching for ways to use up the rest of my massive spool of cotton string from the macrame feather project. I stumbled upon this gorgeous wall hanging on Etsy and just fell in love with the fullness and richness of it, I had to re-create it – but with a Sheila Hicks (the great American fiber artist) twist.

Believe it or not, I’ve lived in California nearly my entire life and had only been to Big Sur once, when I was about 12. How could I have overlooked this majestic place that had here, in my own backyard, for all these years? It wasn’t until one of the largest landslides in California’s history hit the region, that this beautiful, yet rugged, stretch of the central coast was on top of mind.
Belgium-based Bahati Simoens artist grew up admiring the works of Rousseau, Gauguin and Hockney. Later in life, Bahati combined inspiration from Black artists like Cassi Namoda and Wonder Buhle Mbambo and her own childhood in Burundi and her mother’s stories of life in the Congo. I’m intrigued while also enamored by the way she depicts the figures in her art – round bodies with tiny, little heads. It’s amazing that even without facial expression as context, there is so much emotion and passion that exudes from the figures’ stance, embrace and even the most simple activity.
Spring is officially here and the arrival of a new season has never felt more symbolic or welcoming. Since the start of the pandemic, almost exactly a year ago, I must have I rearranged the furniture in our living room umpteen times – mostly out of pure boredom but also out of the desperate need for change.
