If you are anywhere near the Legion of Honor in San Francisco you need to go see this exhibit. In fact my mom and I have even thought about flying up for it. Isabelle de Borchgrave is known for her painting but in this exhibit she shows her passion for textiles and costumes. Everything in the exhibit is made from paper that she has painted and manipulated. It is just amazing and so inspiring. Here are some photos from the shows catalogue... I would love to see it in person, isn't it incredible?!
can you IMAGINE?! love this so so much! and i don't think i've ever heard of her?!
ReplyDeleteyou just made me smarter. xoxo.

ReplyDeleteI was fortunate to go to this on Mother's day! Very beautiful exhibit.
