I love the huge scale, the use of burlap, and the artistry involved. A fabulously irreverent homage to both the past and present. I will make a point of stopping by Lisa's exhibition in LA and her blog!<br />Thanks so much Diane for the great post!<br /><br />Best,<br />SPSlim Paleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278593197402665506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-87219127724551422382010-04-12T19:41:29.493-07:002010-04-12T19:41:29.493-07:00Hi, Kim-

Lisa lifts the spirits of her readers--and I was struck by how many comments on this post noted that she 'lifts us out of the ordinary'. I think that is a fantastic achievement.<br />Thank you, Deborah, for the comment on Tatiana Sorokko. I just spoke to her a few days ago. Her show in Moscow was a great success--and she was totally hoarse from 12-hour days of interviews with the Russian press and tv and other media. Home town girl makes very good.<br />cheers, DIANEDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-19547261224306778192010-04-10T18:22:14.991-07:002010-04-10T18:22:14.991-07:00Lisa appears to be a woman after my own heart.

That would be to you for your incomparable generosity of spirit. It is small wonder that Lisa would feel "speechless." <br /><br />Your enthusiasm, warmth and kindness is as exceptional as it is contagious.

Lisa encapsulates all that has been lost in modern life -- dedication, patience, resourcefulness, ingenuity, aesthetics, originality and soulfulness -- all from her magical Lilliputian wonderland.<br /><br />While her loveliness as a spirit and artist are evident, I am most drawn to her insurgency. It is her philosophy that sets her apart.

They are elegant,<br />savvy, terse and well crafted. I love the nod to history and hand made is this digital age.
