Casually Ornate

Jolynn Krystosek is in town and I will be able to see her work this Saturday. I am very thrilled about this because, really, how could you not be? Just look at how lovely her work is:






She manages to carve, paint, cut, piece together simple materials into complex and ornate shapes while maintaining the casual nature of the medium. It is pretty remarkable that I can use "casual" and "ornate" in the same description, but she somehow succeeds in making this unlikely pairing. I cannot wait to get a close look at some of these!
