Design-i: Camille Henrot

Frieze New York can be a daunting and exhilarating experience. Not to mention the sea journey to get there, which is actually quite fun provided you take a water taxi and are not prone to seasickness.

It's a huge place, to say the least.

So I typically hit the show with my running loafers on and move like a bloodhound on the scent of a Milkbone. It's a lot to take in and focus on especially if you're in the market for something special.

So when I screeched to a halt mid step and spied this jewel out of the corner of my eye, I was so utterly delighted.

Sadly it had already been sold by the time I got to it. So I will have to be content
with this image....for now.

Henrot has a wonderful body of work of installations as well as pieces. I urge you to do your own research and Google her.
