A golden skeletal hand elegantly posed, the delicate bones covered by translucent pink skin etched with anemones, scarred with cuts and gold hang nails. The fingers drip silver that turns blood red. I’ve been thinking a lot about artists’ place in society when that society is fully burning down around us. Some call our pursuits irrelevant and self-indulgent, others call it an absolute necessity – a crucial tether to humanity and hope.
This piece is the first in a year-long series that will be exclusive to EDO, released on the 22nd of every other month (the next is March 22nd). Each piece stands alone but can be arranged together into a narrative. Created from sequin film, film gel, glass and resin beads, and thread, stitched onto illusion in a wooden frame. The frame measures 20 inches x 10 inches (w x h), the entire piece measures 20 x 29 inches (w x h). Ready to hang.

In 2014, I had been going to art conventions for years, and I noticed a consistent puzzle. Artists were all talking about the struggle to sell, and everyone else was talking about the struggle to buy. Artists wanted to sell more work and experiment more outside their comfort zone. And the people buying wanted to buy more than they did. But the artists had to be consistent at these shows, and their art was often (deservedly) out of a starting collector’s price range.
I created Every Day Original to solve this puzzle. And it’s become much more.
At “EDO,” as it was soon called, we created a platform for artists to experiment with small work and for everyone to be able to start their art collection. Over the years, the success of EDO has allowed us to showcase new voices and voices that might otherwise not be “big” enough. Because we feature new work every single day, everyone has an opportunity to start their collection and support this vision.
By joining our mailing list, you join a community of people who believe that art isn’t just a commodity. It’s a passion and way of life that deserves to be seen and celebrated every day.
