This small piece of lace with blue circles and white flowers is mounted on cardboard and was made by Gustav Schnitzler. It’s like a little treasure, right? I love the way the blue pops against the aged cardboard. It's not just about the colors but the texture, too. The lace itself, so delicate, paired with the rough cardboard makes me think about how different materials can speak to each other. Look at the details in the blue circles; each one has its character. It’s the kind of imperfection that reminds you someone’s hand was there, guiding the process. This piece reminds me of a Cy Twombly work, where scribbles and marks become part of a larger, poetic gesture. It's about embracing the unexpected, letting the process lead you. Art is a conversation, and this little piece is whispering something about beauty, imperfection, and the joy of making.
