i was thinking of all you guys (including jb and b) because of the somewhat paul laffoley likeness. working on antique paper pushes it a little in the steam punk direction. shes very young and seaming quite prolific. pretty cool.

*Louise Despont: ‘House of Instruments,’ through Oct. 24. The graphite and watercolor drawings in this fine show were done during a stay this year in South India. Geometry rules; the work’s elaborate curvilinear designs were executed with drafting tools on the lined pages of antique ledger books. The effect is of fantastic growth rigorously contained, as in tantric diagrams and Indian temple and garden designs. At the same time, the spirit of pattern-obsessed Western precisionists like A. G. Rizzoli and Adolf Wolfli come to mind. Nicelle Beauchene Gallery, 21 Orchard Street, Lower East Side , (212) 375-8043, nicellebeauchene.com. (Cotter)

A. G. Rizzol

Begins to produce large pen and ink architectural designs filled with utopian images in 1935. Symbolically represents people that he knows as monumental buildings, many to indicate the metamorphosis these individuals would undergo after death.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, Adolf Wölfli, a former farmhand and laborer, produced a monumental, 25,000-page illustrated narrative in Waldau, a mental asylum near Bern, Switzerland. Through a complex web of texts, drawings, collages and musical compositions, Wölfli constructed a new history of his childhood and a glorious future with its own personal mythology. The French Surrealist André Breton described his work as "one of the three or four most important oeuveres of the twentieth century".

i was pretty blown away by adolf wolfi when i saw his work at the American Folk Art Museum few years ago.
