And yeah, we might come back to Athens..don't know about the settling part but a trip here after 20 years from now would be so much fun...Can't imagine how Athens would look like after 2 decades!Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818022764196673759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-66751386669132083.post-40407054252578036762009-06-13T17:45:31.702-07:002009-06-13T17:45:31.702-07:00i like both the shimmering basket and your favouri...i like both the shimmering basket and your favourite lamps. i feel they are both concept articrafts with the simplest design and high function. <br />PS: I hope i can buy a house and settle in Athens too.

Either they were students or faculty at the OU art school at some point in time. But the interesting bit is unlike the students in the 70s not many younger students seem to settle here anymore. I have to talk to someone in the department if that's in fact the trend.Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818022764196673759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-66751386669132083.post-58442029838812638192009-06-12T14:28:18.001-07:002009-06-12T14:28:18.001-07:00The basket is beautiful!

What an interesting arrangement that the shop acts like a gallery displaying exploratory new items.<br /><br />I think it would be a great idea to talk to OU's art department. I wonder how big of a role it plays in the region's art and how local connect to it (did you all graduate from OU?) How about the many international artists at the OU art department. I know of at least two Latin American students there who have done interesting projects. One was displayed in Nelsonville. Both worked on the mural painted on the outside of a house on Mill street.Stine Eckerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13016631105678770751noreply@blogger.com
