"Homage to Nanny Still," archival ink on paper, 2012.
This is the second in a series of drawings dedicated to designers best known for their work at mid-century. This composition is a spontaneous riff on Still's more recognizable motifs, shapes, and textures. Nanny Still was a Finnish designer working primarily in glass whose designs are most associated Riihimaki Glassworks. I find her designs seductive, rich of surface and color with unusual volumes and contrasting shapes.
