Every once in a while I stumble on a real gem. Today I stumbled. Just south of BCS HQ in the good town of Somerville Ma is sculpture Anne Lilly’s workshop. Apparently there was a recent open house – I missed this unfortunately but through the miracle of Flickr, I found her work. Check it out for yourself-I love machines, machinery and her attention to detail, craftsmanship and skill really hit a chord with my design sensibilities. So simple, so elegant and man if they just don’t beat to their own tune.
Up above is a favorite (it’s tough-they all are my favorite). Check out that play with negative space. The form ever changing but has a consistent visual motion. My hunch: RADNESS ABOUNDS.
