More than a plastic bag

        原本是要介紹josh Blackwell 被戲謔“useless” or “wasteful”的塑膠袋(plastic bag)，是些可愛的塑膠袋(有點像台灣的黑色大垃圾袋或紅白條紋那種等等)，上面運用了一些手縫的技術彩色毛線縫像毛毛蟲，透過bullett的訪談中，提及有關”Imperfection”的思考，我覺得讓這個作品象徵的意義變得更有趣。

        因為發現bullett常有一些和藝術家們的訪談，這點很值得開心(找資料時最期待能夠看到更多一點)，同時也在那看到了Courtney Reagor的幾張感覺很熟悉的照片，因為你很難不去注意到你是否看過這特別的幽默感和擺設方式。Courtney被形容成a shining star on the horizon of design.我想應該也是她天賦異稟的藝術品味及無法被取代的古怪個人特質。這使得作品在呈現上除了美感品味之外再增添非凡的刺點去吸引你的視線，並成功地讓人記住。

　　她形容自己的Raised on sandwiches blog是Has an incredible appreciation.我有點著迷官網上她形容自己的作品”My work is derived from my weakness for all things slightly askew and possibly misunderstood; the in-between moments that get overlooked.”” I believe in a formula of color + shape + pattern + texture.My main priority is to be able to feel the spirit of something that has sprung from the mind and delivered by the hand. I thrive on the possibilities.”你可以從她的作品中看見那些平凡無奇的物品，沒吃完的三明治，臘腸，起司，鳳梨水果，古典雕像等經過她的觀察後出都彷彿被賦予了隱喻諷刺的意義，被主人出眾的色感安置下無聲詼諧或錯置地出場。

     我很喜歡上圖一些構圖簡單以及配色，我有擷取一段whackdesign與她關於color pallet一小段訪談並放上靜物系列:

What inspires your style of illustrations/color pallet?

I'm inspired by the simplicity of a well composed image. Paul rand was the boss when it came to using simple shapes to create a dynamic composition. My mom has been a huge a influence as far as my color sense. Watching her play around with shapes and patterns sparked my curiosity about color relationships from the get go. But right now, I'm all for subtly, limited palettes, simple linework, nothing over worked but .
