::morning inspiration::

i finally made it to the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian. they had this great exhibit Identity by Design: tradition, change and celebration in native women's dresses but it ended yesterday unfortunately, so you'll have to just imagine it.

there is also an exhibit by American Indian artist Annie Pootoogook. she is an Inuit artist who works with very simple materials like colored pencils, crayons and pen and for me her choice of medium makes her images very approachable and conveys the idea of a teenage girl drawing in her room, which I love. her work will be there until January so plenty of time to check it out!
