Get the Look: Wall Sculptures

So, have you decided you should get a wall sculpture? Can be cheaper than a painting (or not) and certainly are textural. I still haven’t taken one of mine out of the box – you might just want to make an offer on it. There are lots of sources for wall sculptures, both vintage and new . . .

ARTmonday: Lucy Mitchell and Phil Lichtenhan

You might remember that I went to the Vineyard a couple of weeks ago for a story for Cape Cod & Islands Home. The owner of the house has some great pieces by local artists, including Lucy Mitchell. I love the way she elevates simple rocks in “White Stone Collection,” a boxed assemblage of white beach stones arranged against dictionary pages. I found a few of her other pieces online, and followed up with her dealer, Mary Etherington at Etherington Fine Art in Vineyard Haven, who says, “Lucy takes the natural world and arranges it.” Mitchell is now represented by Nye Gallery in Oak Bluffs, where her show opened this past Saturday; her first in a few years. I wasn’t able to find any images, but here are the older works.

While I was browsing through other Vineyard gallery sites, I came across these sculptures by Phil Lichtenhan, who is represented by the Shaw Cramer Gallery in Vineyard Haven. They complement Lucy Mitchell’s work, so I included them here too.

Shopping Trip: Provincetown’s South Stream Design

There’s a new home design boutique in Provincetown. There’s no name on the outside, but the hang tags on the items say South Stream Design Christian Soderstrom. I think he may be an interior designer. I chatted with him briefly on Memorial Day weekend, but it was their first day and things were busy. The shop is enchanting, mixing home accessories with garden ornaments (new, old, and reproductions). The prices are extremely reasonable and I was excited to see he Cavern wallpaper on two of the walls – he even sells it. I picked up a cute garden bunny for my friend Tanya, since she and Rob were making one of their fabulous brunches for us the next morning. The photos I took didn’t come out very well, so I went back last week and shot a few more. And brought home a garden fairy for myself this time.
