For some reason or another I got a bunch of miniature tin shipping containers, covered them with miniature graffiti and filled them with mystery puzzles and pompoms, like any normal person would.

"Three Koi", 2020 (One of my favorite features of my old Boulder house was the koi pond. Due to the nature of my work, cats and dogs are not optimal pets, but fish generally don't mess with my pieces)
A colorful hand cut and painted 2-layer wooden jigsaw puzzle depicting three koi fish chasing each other in a square pond

Alisa Lariushkina (Vilnius, Lithuania) :
Delicate Slivers of Air-Dry Clay Form Breezy, Idyllic Landscapes, 2022
Lithuanian artist Alisa Lariushkina uses Japanese air-dry clay to create beautiful artworks. Alisa’s artworks reflect upon nature’s sceneries like grasslands, clouds, and oceans, capturing one’s attention in a magical way. In her words about the process of this art works “The process is very meditative and requires perseverance, I mix all the shades of clay with my own hands, then I shape each piece of clay again with my hands and glue it to the canvas and to another piece of clay.” Russian artist Alisa Lariushkina molds countless coiled ribbons and small twists from air-dry clay to create idyllic scenes brimming with color and texture. Reminiscent of Post-Impressionist styles, her sculptural landscapes are imbued with movement, and she uses undulating forms to convey a river’s gleaming surface and a mix of tiny discs to imitate grasses and wildflowers. Lariushkina currently lives in Vilnius and works primarily on commission, and you can follow her latest pieces on Instagram. Pikes Peak

Visited Barutana Spomenik near Podgorica for the first time — such a fascinating spot. The monument itself has that raw, brutalist vibe, standing quietly, hidden from plain sight. I didn’t know what to expect, but the atmosphere and light were perfect, and I managed to get some really cool shots.
