Textiles and Home Decor

Brandy Gibbs-Riley ’96

LOCATION: Lexington, MA | SHIPPING: Yes

Order Online | CONTACT: brandy@brandygibbsriley.com, (781) 789-2638

Brandy Gibbs-Riley is a Boston-based artist and designer. Her collection of custom, made-to-order décor, accessories, and textiles is based on her original abstract paintings, mixed media collages, and geometric compositions. Her unique patterns are designed by hand and then digitally adapted for print.

Brandy also strives to manufacture sustainably. Making items upon order is a low-waste process. Since every product is made for an individual customer, the studio does not mass produce, hold inventory or warehouse overstock. Fulfillment takes a bit longer than ordering from big online retailers or box stores, but good things take time. To reduce the carbon footprint left by shipping, everything is manufactured as local to the Boston area as possible, including the United States and eastern Canada.

In 2016, I traveled to Sweden to research the artist, Hilma af Klint. I wanted to know what inspired her to work abstractly and what inspires abstract women artists in Sweden today. From my research in Stockholm, I began to shift my own practice to focus entirely on meditation and working intuitively. During my visit, I connected with Hilma’s relative, Ulrika, and my research took an unexpected turn. Ulrika encouraged me to connect with their family medium. My conversations with the medium included instructions from Hilma about improving my practice and how to connect better to my inner voice. My experience and research have brought me new confidence and freedom that I have applied directly to my art-making.

ALBUQUERQUE IWAMA AIKIDO

Martial Arts School

Paul Barrett ’80

LOCATION: Albuquerque, NM | Gift Cards Available

Website | CONTACT: info@ABQIwamaAikido.com, (505) 832-7145

Aikido blends the motion of the attacker and redirects the force of the attack rather than opposing it head-on. O Sensei’s goal was to create an art that practitioners could use to defend themselves while also protecting their attackers from injury. Aikido requires very little physical strength, as the aikidōka “leads” the attacker’s momentum using entering and turning movements. The techniques are completed with various throws or joint locks.

Aikido training is intended to promote physical and mental training, according to the proficiency level of each practitioner regardless of age or gender. Aikido training is not only good for health but also develops self-confidence useful in daily life.
