One of a Kind

Marie-Josˆ© Danzon (standing with Yuka) is one of the most wonderful artists we know. She and Wojar live in Montreal and the South of France, and comes to the One of a Kind Show to show her work. This year she wasn't selling anything, as they're all commissions. This one piece, I forget it's name, is really astounding. It represents an oasis in Algeria. Oh, and it is a quilt. Sorry that is isn't the best picture, but she uses a lot of metalic gold types of cloth, and it is all old bits of fabric that she collects in France...

a shear pleasure!

love the gold feel: does she mix in bits of mirror? wonder how the art would interact with flash and camera?

it would be interesting to sculpt comparametrically and see what happens...

[Ed: It is gold thread in the cloth. However she did show another piece there that had mirrors woven in.]]
