"Look around, look inside, look under the stones in the river
See a life turned clean, Skim a stone, throw a bone, watch it float downstream
and dissolving. Dye the water green" (new Bibio)

LACE Benefit Auction
Jason Koharik of Collectedby has a new work that is part of the upcoming Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibition's annual fundraising auction. So many amazing artists to bid on for this year's auction at LACE.
"I am, I suppose, self taught on much of what I do, (metal working, weaving, leather work, sewing, electrical, wood working), mostly out of necessity. I don't know how else to get it done. So I mess up 5 times or so before I get it right! I learn so much this way. You just have to keep trying, which is really hard sometimes. I have found mentors along the way. I met a master wood worker, an artist really. I evolve every time I visit his shop or we work on a design together. An upholsterer I can only describe as an angel. Not only because of the quality of his work, but mostly for his appreciation of life. Creating and learning new ways to create is something I am very passionate for." - Jason Koharik
