Perrin

I’ve been look­ing at my cohort, col­lab­o­ra­tor, and  best pal Lisa Per­rin’s work all school year, and love what she has cre­at­ed. We installed our MFA the­sis exhi­bi­tions this week, and it was real­ly incred­i­ble to see all of her work in one place, togeth­er for the first time.

Lisa’s work is informed by the humor­ous and strange world of East­ern Euro­pean Jew­ish folk tales. While influ­enced by this facet of cul­ture, she mere­ly ref­er­ences it, and there­fore allows a larg­er, more var­ied audi­ence to enjoy her illus­tra­tions. She’s mod­ern­ized the old world with inter­est­ing appli­ca­tions such as Yid­dish say­ings on post­cards and tea towels.

The image above and direct­ly below are actu­al­ly silk scarves, and they are beau­ti­ful. I’m look­ing for­ward to her open­ing up her online shop this sum­mer. If you are around Bal­ti­more, be sure to check out her work in MICA’s Stu­dio Cen­ter (first floor), up now!

These two images are tea towels!
