The last few days in Miami have been a fabulous, overwhelming blur of amazing artwork… like this! While at Untitled Miami yesterday, I saw the work of Malaysian artist Anne Samat (Kuala Lumpur / New York based). Her work is not only stop-you-in-you-tracks good, it also holds you there for a very long time! House keys, bits from the hardware store, beads, and, is that a rake? Yep! Here’s a description from her gallery:

“Samat employs the Southeast Asian art of Pua Kumbu weaving and adds humble goods from 99 cent stores to construct brightly colored, gorgeous, totemic works. They resonate from deeply personal issues: family and identity, and speak of love, individuality, and liberation. For Samat, it is paramount to embody what one feels to be from within – without fear, without coercion. Her works often have clear gender assignments, but even when this can be discerned it often feels irrelevant in light of the greater presence of the sculptures. Brightly colored and heavily adorned with details, each one resonates as an avatar.” ~ Marc Straus Gallery, NYC

So fantastic, right!? Today I’m off to Art Basel, and then Art Miami on Sunday. Are my feet tired? Yes. Am I so excited and loving every second? YES!!! ps. There’s more over on my Instagram feed if you want a peek at what I’m seeing/loving.

Have a fabulous weekend ~ Danielle
