matisse's large scale ceramic wall piece "la gerbe" (the sheaf) 1953, was recently donated to lacma by long-time los angeles patrons sidney and frances brody.
Kate and Laura Mulleavy invited me to make my books for a very special event- their show at the Museum of Contemporary Art, "Rodarte: States of Matter", which included the tutus they made for "Black Swan".
