One Stitch at a Time

Encircling The Void

Santamarina’s website is under construction and not fully functional but her blog has more than two dozen images of the sculptures.

Wandering

Once Upon A Time

I really appreciate the low-tech aspect of this work – we are often seduced by tools and techniques – Santamarina reminds us that humble tools and basic techniques are more than enough. [/private_archives]
