- Sophie Calle & Yu Jin Goo
Welcome to Adele Delivers, where I deliver two of my favorite contemporary artists right to your inbox each Friday. Here’s to fostering a deeper connection with art, one artist at a time.
Sophie Calle
“Objects always meet your obsession. Once you have an obsession, you step on it at every corner.” Learn more about Sophie here.

Yu Jin Goo
Yu Jin Goo relies on oysters and abalone (who’ve been making mother-of-pearl to line the inside of their shells for hundreds of millions of years) to tell a story about nature and his Korean heritage. With a practice rooted in the traditional Korean technique of Najeon, he fixes thin slices of mother-of-pearl into lacquered surfaces. Notice the fish in the first painting? Learn more about Yu Jin Goo here.

While researching Sophie Calle I stumbled upon a treasure! An exclusive club, interesting ways to play with language (constraints), books to read and it starts right here, with the word Oulipo
I want to memorize this poem, Echo, by David Whyte (My dad’s name only spelled differently, an echo perhaps?)
Thank you for being here! ‘Tis the season to get started on those Holiday cards. Till soon. XxA
