A Ford/Forlano exhibit, Organica, opens here this weekend. Steven and David Forlano have collaborated (now by long distance between Santa Fe and Philadelphia) for years. David’s strength is color, pattern, and surface while Steven’s is mechanics and structure.

I love to visit hushed, austere galleries and open their drawers of expensive polymer clay items. To handle these well designed, finely crafted items is to understand where this medium can go. Inspirational! (Don’t miss the gallery’s POMO polymer clay bracelets either.)

It’s art festival season. Have an arty, inspirational weekend.
