Meghan Gerety’s graphite drawings on watercolor paper have a calm, meditative quality. At first glace, the formal quality of the artist’s work is reminiscent of action drawings and Abstract Expressionism.

Artist Kate MccGwire is intrigued by the possibility of envisaging beauty as something more complex than merely what delights the senses. MccGwire will take an everyday thing and, by re-framing it, entice the viewer into re-examining their preconceptions of what is menacing, repulsive or beautiful.

Day Birger et Mikkelsen is a Danish brand created in 1997. Using inspiration of the ethnic cultures of Asia as a starting point for every collection, the label infuses each piece with the sumptuous feel of vintage glamour and playful personality.

About the F/W 2009 home collection they say, “Winter is the time of the year where we cuddle up at home. Some of us even hibernate like bears. The Day home winter collection 2009 is created with this in mind. The atmosphere is cozy, intellectual  — a little messy, inviting and warm. You want to stay at home with the fireplace on, read books, drink toddy’s. The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul in September gave inspirations and thoughts to colors and theme for this season.”

You make my heart sing.

Inspired by Spike Jonze’s film adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are, which opens tomorrow.
