However, just because they will haunt my dreams doesn't mean I don't admire the hard work and creativity that went into them. According to the email I just received from AHAlife:
"Dogs are an endless source of delight and amusement to their owners. For Swedish artist Frida Fjellman, however, they’re also the subjects for meticulously crafted (read painfully difficult) sculptures in mouth blown glass and hand sculpted ceramics. Fjellman is one of the most renowned members of an important new generation of artists in Sweden, which has revolutionized the country’s aesthetic identity. Her hyper realistic pieces blur the boundaries between art, decorative objects and handicraft, areas that traditionally are held strictly separate in Scandinavian design."
While a certain amount of this must certainly be tongue and cheek, I'm wondering at what point something goes from avante-guard to straight-up Regretsy. Anyone have any thoughts?
