margaux & walter kent: the only place left.

the black spot books

the first time i saw the work of margaux kent was at the very first art star craft bazaar i vended at a few years ago. everything about her and her work struck me, even the table she was using and the objects she had for display. happily her and her equally talented husband are showing this month at my gallery, the toothless cat, here in philly. 'the only place left' features work from both walter and margaux, including a special trunk show opening night featuring work from the black spot books, this saturday night from 6-10. if you're in the philly area i hope you can make it! if not, i'll be posting pictures soon.

the black spot books.

although margaux kent (who is a fellow philadelphian & etsy cabinet of curiosities team member) of the black spot books is becoming widely known for her incredible handmade, vintage leather books// book necklaces, she is also an amazing photographer. her painter husband walter kent is returning home soon from being away for a year at war and i'm pleased to say that they will have a joint show at the toothless cat gallery next year. if you're so inclined, take a peek at their lovely wedding video, 'an ever- sure antidote to despair' that took place in iceland last year.
