FEATURED BELOW
A new year, a new season, a new you. Spring is finally here - and as they say, "out with the old and in with the new!"

After a long, roller coaster-like few months of winter, I'm sure that many of us are hoping to restart and open up our lives to the world again. But sometimes creating that well of positive energy comes from a place closer to home - pun very much intended.

If you've been staring at the same walls of your home office or living room, feeling too much monotony, then maybe it's time to freshen up your living space. A unique necklace could be the perfect update to an already-stunning [zoom] outfit. A vibrant vase can add just the right amount of colourful oomph to your mantle. And a vivid painting can bring warm liveliness into your home all year-round.

So however you choose to refresh your lives this springtime, enjoy our featured inspirations below!

Kristina is a visual artist and performer and is drawn to creative projects that will combine both of these passions. She has exhibited her sculpture in venues around the Midwest and Twin Cities and was a recipient of a Jerome Fiber Art Project Grant for 2010-2011 at the Minnesota Textile Center.

She has in the past performed with such theatre companies as
The Winding Sheet Outfit, Red Eye Theater, and Sandbox Theatre. Her current work incorporates light and sound through projected animation and explores how it interacts with her sculptures.

" The influence, inspiration and ideas behind my current work is influenced by my fascination and love of the night sky, specifically images seen through the Hubble Telescope. Images of the Milky Way and star clusters give an impression of movement through time, especially in the way their light arcs across the night sky and fades to morning. The contradiction between static imagery and movement becomes central to my compositions. By using sheer fabric and paper, I explore how light and shadow becomes part of that movement. The fabric creates an organic, somewhat simple abstraction of the original image or theme, while the bent wire relays a tension that cannot be duplicated on canvas. This work explores the scope of textures, colors, shapes and compositions in the vast expanse of the night sky. "
