This past weekend I went to see Liza Lou’s groovy new show at L&M Arts in Venice. I have a touch of the OCD (if you must know) and her dense, time-intensive, slightly obsessive work really appealed to me. She works primarily with beads, creating pieces that reveal the imperfections inherent when making anything by hand with this many tiny parts. I particularly love the pieces where she explores and almost celebrates the flaws. Oh, and the spinning wheel is pretty insane, too…
