LouiseBourgeoisFound this unique illustrated fabric book in the archives of the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), New York. The English translation of the title is “Ode to Forgetting”. The pages are composed of fabric collages and embroidery of linen hand towels from the artist’s wedding trousseau. The French artist and creator of the book, Louise Bourgeoise (1911-2010), used art as a form of purification and as she puts it, “Art is a guarantee of sanity.”

KelsKelly O’Sullivan is the designer and illustrator who created these mid-century inspired archival prints. The Australia-based artist strives to create accessible, beautiful and affordable home decor. On her profile pages she writes this about her work:

“Inspiration comes from the beauty of the everyday whether it be objects, experiences, encounters or from nature . She is especially interested in the beauty of the abstracted form and enjoys deconstructing ‘common’ things to create beautiful, balanced and emotive compositions”.

More of her work can be seen on her website, Kels, and prints can be purchased there as well. She also sells prints here in her Etsy shop.
