Cherri Wood: Some Kind Of Wonderful- 02.06.09
On shows i wish i could go see in person ~ the SF Gallery 1988 has Some Kind Of Wonderful opening tonight, and i was just checking out the pieces online. This group show looks incredible! And in particular i’m loving the work of Cherri Wood (aka Fy Simone) is a 19 year old illustrator based in Minnesota, USA. ~ with her girls viewed from the back floating on paper… her style of watercolour, acrylic, and graphite on paper is just mesmerizing, and they really stand out both on their own and in the set… See them all on the next page, and if you’re in SF, definitely go check out the show!
p.s.
i love the way she signs with what looks like a thumbprint…

I really like how the pieces are displayed so casually — just pieces of paper hanging from clips on the wall. Very simple, but somehow still elegant. Inspires me to start hanging stuff around my house that I’ve been “waiting” to have framed…
