We feel very lucky to be located in the Bay Area; it’s a community rich with artists, designers, shop owners, restauranteurs, and creative folks of all kinds. One local gem is Little Paper Planes, a shop in San Francisco’s Mission District run by Kelly Lynn Jones. (She also maintains an online store.) I often turn to Kelly when I want to get in touch with a local designer or discover a new artist. I had never seen the work of Argentinian artist Jazmín Berakha before spotting it on the LPP blog, and now she’s one of my favorite artists.
Right now, Little Paper Planes is offering an edition of full color, archival prints of some of Berakha’s newest embroidery series. Berakha is interested in questions of domesticity, temporality, and the meditative process of embroidery work. This comes across clearly in these latest pieces, which feature abstract geometry and a soothing color palette of corals, peaches, and sunset fades. I could certainly stare at these for hours on end. You can shop the collection of prints here, and also be sure to check out more of Berakha’s embroidery on her site.
