I know our masthead rotation hasn’t been as timely as we’d promised, but until we have a script written to automate the process of changing it some irregularity will continue. Apologies in advance.
In the meantime, this week in our masthead we feature the painting Interlock by Danielle Mysliwiec. Building upon the tradition of artists such as Annie Albers, Sheila Hicks, and Lenore Tawney, Mysliwiec creates a luscious surface with woven paint. Her paintings have a demanding presence, creating a great illusion of depth, while also imparting the same sense of transformation and strength fabric itself takes on once constructed.
