'Thread as the Line' in Arlington, VA

For those of you who I haven't met personally - Daniel here, Courtney's live-in boyfriend. She asked that I jump in and help post for the next couple weeks while she balances a heavy workload. Although I'm relatively new to her world of wonderfully quirky and delightful interests (I was raised in a house where the walls were kept white, and barren), I like to think I'm learning fast.

That being said, a few months ago I learned real fast that 'sweater by favorite artist + new dryer = unhappy girlfriend.' A while back Courtney posted about her (most favoritest-ever) matching Caroline Hwang sweater and skirt by RVCA's Artist Network Program. After moving into our new pad, I didn't really anticipate the brute force that our new laundry room was packing, and while I thought I was doing a good thing, I was actually warping her favorite sweater to Bilbo Baggins size.

Anyhow, all the recent talk prompted me to look online for a new sweater for Courtney. While, I wasn't able to find one, I did come across some awesome new works by Caroline and friends, on display now in the 'Thread as the Line:Contemporary Sewn Art' show at the Ellipse Arts Center in Arlington , VA.



The show also features new works by TKB favorite, Megan Whitmarsh!

Also, opening today in Brooklyn at the Cinders Gallery, Caroline has works on display at the 'Don't Paint With Your Teeth' exhibit, a group show of ballpoint pen, pencil and sharpie drawings, that runs until June 8th (damn, this girl is busy!).



Ok, this post could go on and on, but I have to stop it somewhere...
