Elaborately Layered Gardens by Ebony G. Patterson Hide Haunting Messages Within Dazzling Displays

Ebony G. Patterson’s multi-layered works are willfully superficial. The Jamaican artist weaves together a mélange of torn papers, tassels, appliqués, and feathered butterflies to create striking gardens replete with glitter and vibrant hues. "In many ways, I think of the work as the flower and the audience as the bees," Patterson told Nasher Museum. "The…

Realistic Bird Busts and Portraits Slot Pieces of Wood into Jigsaw-Like Sculptures

Similar to the decorative art of marquetry, intarsia involves compressing cut pieces of wood into a tight, solid structure. Because of the size of the components, the latter technique produces more three-dimensional forms that tend to be fastened with dabs of glue. British artist T.A.G.

To ensure the sturdiness of her mostly-white designs, Hui Kao varies the size of her paper rolls. As they dry, the rice water binds each wrinkled piece together. In a statement about the wrinkle-filled project, the designer noted…

Social Justice Sewing Academy On Community Activism and the Power of Remembering Through Quilts

In a time when witnessing inequity is like digging into an already numb wound, and participating in surface-level social justice is as easy as recycling digital shares, the Social Justice Sewing Academy (SJSA) offers the power of touch. This is a COVID world after all, and we know that touch is priceless. Holding someone or something you love, experiencing the smell, shape, and weight of other’s bodies reminds us that we are not just brains experiencing the trauma. Inequity is real. Loss is real, and it violently impacts young people in underserved communities every day. SJSA empowers youth to use…

Anna Mantzaris On Her Penchant for Nuanced Emotion and Finding Humor in the Mundane

Colossal contributor Laura Staugaitis spoke with Anna Mantzaris via Zoom in late September 2020. This conversation has been edited for length and clarity.  Shown above is a still from Mantzaris's "Small Decision, Big Impact" for Honest Tea. Laura: Could you share a little bit about how you got interested in animation? What was the point at which you really identified that it was the creative direction that you were going to move in? Anna: I didn't have the path of always knowing that I wanted to do animation—it wasn't something that I was anticipating seeing in my life. It's not that…
