Mad About Chevron...

Fez in color Noir

While I've blogged before about Martin Lawrence Bullard's wallpaper and textiles, I recently used one in the Powder Room of a Media Room.

It was just the right amount of drama a Media Room needs!

In the Absence of Voyeurism #6, 2000-2006

I've long admired American Artist, Sean Bidic's Site-specific installation, "In the Absence of Voyeurism #6, 2000-2006" in the first floor Men's Restroom at the flagship 21C Museum Hotels location in Louisville, KY.

This site specific piece is based upon the artist's series by the same name.  In 2002, Sean Bidic, a plastic surgeon at the University of Texas Medical Center, took time off from medicine to complete a MFA from Carnegie Mellon University.  

While in Pittsburgh, Bidic befriended a blind dart throwing club and became interested in how people view and stereotype people with disabilities. For this series, the blind eyes of seven individuals from the dart throwing group are captured on individual videos.  

The eyes of the group appear to flare out at the viewer on life-size LCD monitors. By reversing the gaze of the disabled person onto the viewer, Bidic creates an environment for the viewer to experience the tension of what it might feel like to receive the unwelcome glare of a stranger.

29th Annual Blue Grass Trust Antique & Garden Show

Fox + Glove Design recently had the pleasure to attend the 29th Annual Blue Grass Trust Antique and Garden Show in Lexington KY.  Proceeds from the show benefit the B.G.T. for Historic Preservation Inc, the leading preservation advocate in Central Kentucky. 

Here are some of my favorite finds of the show.

Embroidered English Equestrian Minatures

French Equestrian Etching

Porcelain Fox Lidded Container

Mid-century Bullet Hole Lucite Lamp Base 

Bronze Horse Statue on Marble base

Gilded Federal Style Mirror with Fern Motif

Porcelain Equestrian Ginger Jar 

Porcelain Fox

Fox Oil Painting 

Ok, so Maybe we are a little bias toward all things fox, what can we say....

Primroses 

While flowers were abundant as you can tell from my finds, I was much more focused on the antiques!
