Packer Schopf Gallery at the Chicago Artropolis Art Fair

This skeleton at the Packer Schopf Gallery is made entirely out of plastic cassette tapes.

This shows more of the detail of the construction.

The Gallery had some of this artist’s work last year at the Fair.   The attention to detail is amazing.   I  like the concept of a book pulling you through it, taking you on a journey as you read it and this artist doing the same thing in a very unique visual way.

Another cut-out book at the Packer Gallery.

Also at Packer Gallery are these white mac lap-tops that have been inked in a technique that looks like scrimshaw.

“Beware the tendency to become the things you covet, it’s unsustainable & will only disappoint you in the end.”

I am drawn to the beauty of wood, especially carved sculptural pieces.  This piece has such an elegance and strength about it.  This skull is by Laurel Roth also at the Packer Gallery.  Laurel Roth has described this new series as, “..based on the bones of food animals using  finely polished wood, crystal, and gold to highlight the sacred and the profane aspects of food in an age of industrial agriculture.”

  1. lol a couple of of the remarks individuals put up are silly and unrelated, occasionally i ask myself if they in reality read the document content and items before leaving your 2 cents or if perhaps they actually skim the title on the article and pen the extremely 1st thing that pops into their brain. in any circumstance, it’s enjoyable to browse smart commentary from time to time rather than the quite very same, outdated blog vomit which i fairly usually discover on the net

    You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
