Woven Wire

A beautiful and inspiring show earlier this year at David Zwirner Gallery in Mayfair - Ruth Asawa's woven wire sculptures and line drawings. I love the relationship between the two - and how one informs the other. Asawa's sculptures were inspired by a trip to Mexico in 1947, where a local craftsman taught her how to weave a basket out of wire.

Loved this picture of Asawa working at home surrounded by her children

Little is Enough for Those with Love, 2019

Sad Man with Flowers, 2019

A new artist and a new gallery - to me at least - I loved the Cassi Namoda exhibition at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery last week. Intimate and colourful paintings about love, family and cultural traditions in Maputo, the artist's birthplace.

Well worth a visit: see here for details. On display until 7th March 2020.
