The only reason I’ve yet to post about Laurie Lipton is that I’m too in love with her work to choose examples. But now I have a way to introduce her: the Day of the Dead show at Corpro Nason (which I’m drooling over and must get to).

Inspired by traditional religious Flemish art, Lipton devised a method of creating depth and form through thousands of tiny cross-hatched lines. Trust me, you’ve never seen pencil drawings like this; obsessive in detail, and absolutely luminous. They take my breath away.

I can’t wait to see these in full size. View the exhibit online.
