On the walk to my office, I pass some spectacular<\/a> 20th and 21st century art–the gems of Chapman’s collection (including a Lichtenstein, some Rauschenbergs<\/a>, and several<\/a> Ruschas<\/a>).\u00a0 And just outside my office suite is Mary Addison Hackett’s “Station” <\/a><\/p>\n

\"ia-51-b\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yesterday when my daughter came to work with me and encountered the art in the outside hallway for the first time, she lingered longest in front of “Station.”\u00a0 She marveled at the color.\u00a0 So I dove a bit into the wormhole of the internet to learn about Hackett, and found her blog<\/a>.\u00a0 Fascinating.<\/p>\n

I especially enjoyed seeing her posts about the painting<\/a> that I walk past everyday.<\/p>\n

But more than that, I liked her post explaining why she doesn’t tape the edges of her artwork<\/a>.\u00a0 Instead, she leaves the canvas bare to reveal the messiness of her process (note: click on the links below to see larger images).<\/p>\n\n\t\t
