mia pearlman this week, i'll be sharing a sampling of | o p a t | posts from over the years.  it's been fun for me to go back and see how the blog has matured and progressed.  one of the best compliments i've received was an appreciation for the simplicity of its aesthetic.  in the beginning, i included running narratives on the works shared. over the years  i dismissed that, cleaned up the blog, and allowed the works to speak for themselves.  the compliment was that the minimalism suggested a gallery, with the blog disappearing  behind the works' beauty. i just love that. i hope you enjoy this retrospective. we'll start with paper arts...mia pearlmanvally nomidouvally nomidouandreas kocksandreas kockspeter callesenpeter callesencaitlin masleycaitlin masley daniele papulidaniele papulimaskull lasserremaskull lasserredawn ng dawn nganna-wili highfieldanna-wili highfieldyunwoo choiyunwoo choitomoko shioyasutomoko shioyasumidori harimamidori harimalaurie fricklaurie frickmonika grzymalamonika grzymalakatsumi hayakawa katsumi hayakawa andree-anne dupuis bourretandree-anne dupuis bourret
