Surfed with a pod of Dolphins jumping through the waves at Swamiis this morning 🐬 I said to Glenn (a surfer I love to watch & learn from), who was sitting next to me and I said “that was the best birthday present ever!” And he turned to me and said “it’s my birthday too!” 🌊 Today has been full of those special little moments down to the card from my boys that said “you are not meant to live like the others you were meant to live as yourself “ 🥹 this year has been full of a lot of highs and a lot of lows. I’m grateful to have surfing and painting, my kids, good books and a partner who lets me be me… 🙏🏽 for taking this pic of me 📸 excited for my show opening next weekend ☺️

Transcendent Geometries 〰️ Opening Reception with the artists: Ato Ribeiro &
Saturday, March 2, 2024
1:00 - 3:00pm
〰️
In a time dominated by machine algorithms, a return to patterns made by human hands and touched by human bodies can produce transcendent geometries, reminding us of our origins as embodied and sensuous beings. Ato Ribeiro, Carrie Marill, and Andy Burgess work in diverse media, yet each artist employs pattern as an instrument of exquisite narrative and intimate intention. Working within formal geometrical guidelines that often resemble the composition of a quilt – an object used both to warm people and communicate information – Ribeiro, Marill, and Burgess combine tactile materials, mathematical constraints, and the universal need for expression to create intimate graphic explorations in wood, acrylic on linen, and textile collage. Their recent works will be exhibited in a group show at Lisa Sette Gallery from March 2 – May 25, 2024. 〰️ The artist Carrie Marill speaks of her “love for combining worlds,” and her research and practice examining pattern, color, and form in both folk and fine art result in works that are luminously personal and formally precise. Marill lists the contrasts that inspire her, from “craft and architecture, masculine and feminine, beauty and utility” to “hard and soft, structure and freeform, handwork and mechanization.” In Marill’s recent works, inspired by her study of European modernist architects and folk quilts, the artist delineates these human contrasts in geometrical explorations. The personal characteristics of built spaces and objects are tangible in these works: the simple physique of a chair, the human spaces around which a building is built, the soft precision of a quilt made from textile remnants already worn close for a lifetime. “I have been looking at architecture and how the patterns found in modern/minimalist architecture utilize similar patterns as found in quilt making. Architecture can create light, airy space out of steel, metal and concrete. Could quilts create a similar effect? What if a building were a quilt? I want to capture that in a painting.” 〰️

I miss skateboarding - been pining for that adrenaline challenge lately… I fractured my pelvis 2 years ago coming out of a bowl at prince - an innocuous move really - a fluke - I took it as a wake up call to stop skating. That injury took me 4 months of rehab, 4 months of a strain on my family & my job, 5 months away from surfing - did I really want to go thru that again? They say with skating it’s not “if” it’s “when” BUT I miss the rad community, the challenge, the rush, the incremental build of practicing daily and seeing improvements. I have surfing that should be more than enough, but Why do I still crave skating? 💀

About PUNKWASP

I have been a full-time artist since 2004. Thankfully this has allowed me to travel the world, and during these explorations, I always try to collect beads, fabric, weavings, biomorphic shaped creations, ceramics, and tools. My creative lens is of a traveling androgynous art lady who’ll shop at both the flea market and Barney’s. I like to have fun with my creations, be they paintings or clothing; clashing patterns, embracing color and layering styles from different eras. With all of my creations and accessories, I want to make something unusual that is comfortable and will last the test of time and physical use.

I am an active person with small boys so I understand that things get yanked on and you may have to go to the trampoline park last minute - my motto is make it unique, effortless, and easy to wear.

In 2017 I took a respite from painting and started making one of a kind jewelry pieces from my finds. Color, Pattern, and Balance are reoccurring themes in all of my work so creating wearable art that incorporated pattern and color dovetailed nicely into the aesthetics of my creations.

Carrie Marill was born in San Francisco, CA 1976. See more of Carrie Marill's artwork here
