This is a great catalog from Ricky Swallow's exhibition "This Time Another Year," at the 2005 Venice Biennale, Austrailian Pavilion. Mr. Swallow is a master wood carver of life as we know it, or thought we knew it. The intricacy of the works in this catalog is mind blowing. Not since Bernini have we seen such life exude from a carved object. A carved skull sinks in to a wooden bean bag with all the lushness and orgasmic tension of "The Ecstasy of St. Theresa," in Mr. Swallow's piece "Come Together," from 2002.

I saw this at a friend's house recently. It's a good snapshot of the negiborhood at the moment, and serious fodder for some home owner envy. "If only I had bought 10 years ago. I could be living in a Neutra house."
