_ Chris Roberts-Antieau’s work sort of speaks for itself doesn’t it? At least Monkey Pioneer of Outer Space spoke to me. It may have actually SPOKEN to me.

Roberts-Antieau’s work is all sewn fabric with hand painted frames. The ridiculously bad photos representations of her works here in no way do them justice. You should first go to the Red Truck Gallery website and then make an effort to see her work (hell, maybe even buy it…and there will be an article about buying art soon).

You can also find more info about Roberts-Antieau at her website.

_Roberts-Antieau’s website mentions her first (and last) day of art class and how her first drawing was singled out for ridicule by the professor. She walked out. I would have punched him in the face but then I was sort of anti-social when I was school-aged.

Roberts-Antieau has since seen her art as clothing in addition to fine art. Her work is the sort of thing people will say “I could do that” when you show it to them. Always say this in response “OK, so DO it.” See, they REALLY cannot do it but the see an image of what they thought they could do, what they wanted to do, what their brain told them they were doing, as a kid.

That is pretty deep. I really should lay off the cold medicine when I do not actually have a cold.
