NCECA Part II





The biggest draw for me at NCECA was the galleries and sales. Although I definitely did not have to money to be able to spend, it was really great to look. Here are some of my favorites I saw.

First was the Artstream Sale. There were so many nice pieces on display and for sale. Probably the cutest of all of them was Mikey Walsh's really unique cups and vases. Although the cups were what was up for sale, she does really interesting objects as well, and relates all of her animal work to the fact that she was raised by gorillas. Interesting, and amusing.

There was tons of other work, some great, some not. But the LaMesa sale was even better. There was a larger variety of skill set shown there. For example, there was unique sculpture like that of Lisa Clague. The pictures I have up of her pieces are pretty typical of her work, but it was great to see it in person. There is a lot of detail within each piece that often gets lost in images.
