"La Salle University’s exhibition Straight Water Blues brings together many of Bullock’s most recent artworks.Bullock’s abstract three dimensional sculptural forms made from acrylic paint on heavy watercolor paper evoke ancestor spirits and tell personal and shared stories.Bullock responds to current events and also expresses a sense of connection to her familial past, African American culture, and African motifs and spiritualism."

"Cape Town, South Africa-based Porky Hefer has created an incredible series of cozy nests for humans that can be perched high up in the trees! The amazing woven nests are handmade from natural materials and are inspired examples of bio mimicry that emulate the building techniques of weaver birds. Click through the gallery to check out a collection of these cozy pods and dream of what it would feel like to be a bird"

IndagaHOME Remembers and Salutes the Life and Legacy of Dr. Maya Angelou

IndagaHOME had a few reunions at ICFF 2014

“Abi Wright is a graphic designer, visual artist and curator who enjoys creating work that represents her passion celebrating culture and identity. For Abi Wright's textile collection she draws inspiration from West African fabrics as she is fascinated by the hidden history and stories that are told within their repetitive patterns and colours. Abi's style is simplified and bold, as she pays homage to these striking symbolic qualities.”

We first met UK textile designer Abi Wright a year ago at the annual ICFF (International Contemporary Furniture Fair) in New York… by accident. Every year as an additional event the fair focuses on a country.  Last year they featured designers from The African and African-Caribbean Design Diaspora (AACDD) in the UK. Unfortunately the show was held in an area far away from the main event. If we had not taken a wrong turn we may never have seen the wonderful exhibit. It was not well attended. But we were amazed by the exhibit and by Abi Wrights beautiful textiles. We struck up a conversation and exchanged business cards and followed her on the internet. This year Abi had a prime location in the main event. We were excited to see her and glad that she remembered us.
