Most of the time google-ing oneself is a gratuitous time waster, but sometimes it proves to be fruitful.
Take this as an example. I googled myself to see what came up in the image section and found my beautiful business cards done by MICA soon–to–be senior Aron Fay featured on a few blogs, one of them being Card Nerd.
Take a gander:
The eastern textile principle of “phulkari” was introduced to me during a gallery talk with the artist Jenny Mullins last year.
The principle indicates that some mistakes in various textile patterns (mostly wedding apparel) are voluntarily introduced into the embroidery work in
order to protect a bride from the evil eye (”nazar”). Indeed a perfect piece could have attracted others’ jealousy.
I thought about this as I admired the tile work in a restaurant bathroom a few months ago. In a digital world which demands perfection, it’s very humbling to acknowledge and embrace illustrious imperfection.
