I am loving the beautiful photographs of Jean Shin's artwork. The capturing of discarded everyday objects (like broken umbrellas after a rainstorm, or the ends of altered pants) is inspiring and I think speaks to the issues of waste, recycling, disposable culture, etc. But also craft.

And I also love these photos of materials she's taken at the maket. They remind me of photo's we've taken around the fp office!
