What do you look to for inspiration when creating your pattern pieces?
For the pattern work, it’s kind of all over. Outer space images from movies or from reality, images from Hubble etc., stuff I’ve collected traveling in places like Japan or India… I’ve always been a nerd. In high school I was studying AP calculus etc. but was really drawn to geometry. So there was this common thread in everything I liked and was good at that pulled me towards creating things out of simple shapes and having them repeat. Then when I went to college at the Maryland Institute College Of Art, I studied Mesoamerican art history and Islamic Art & Pattern. So it’s something I have always been interested in and something I’ve always used to some extent in my art making.

Last night we had the pleasure of seeing BOXI’s work up close at the Carmicharl Gallery. He has taken the art of the stencil to the next level.

For his first French exhibit, photographer Todd Selby and Colette have collaborated to do a Selby Pop-up shop inside Collette. Todd Selby has taken over the walls of the Colette shop with his images and curated the Selby Space. He has produced a book of his photos specifically for this exhibit. We have been following his blog, The Selby, for awhile now and it is always super intriguing to enter into someones home from a bird’s eye view and see the scene. The space he has created inside Colette definitely carries the same charm and intrigue that his blog projects. This is a great collab on Colette’s part!
