Nicole Crowder is the founder of her own furniture and upholstery studio creating generational, one-of-a-kind pieces of bespoke furniture. Her works been featured in Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, and Martha Stewart Living.
We’re delighted to share Nicole's curation of Curina artworks and her methodical, eclectic perspective.
During the Pandemic, many of us became alone and separated from our closed ones. This separation from people is a blessing in disguise as we start to enjoy mother nature.
Works in this exhibition highlight the qualities that make trash trash: too commonplace like concrete, traces of previous use like wrinkles on fabric, cheap mass produced items like loofahs…
Basia Goszczynska is a Brooklyn based artist who explores environmental and waste issues through a variety of mediums including sculpture, installation, performance, social practice and new media.
As a kid, you ever felt this sudden rebellious courage to start packing your stuff to leave for good after getting whooped by your mom? That’s basically this show and collection.
Well, this may not be *as* underrated as the others, some of y’all might argue. Fair point - but in my dictionary, if the IG account of the show doesn’t have as many followers as the one for Stranger Things then we still have a long way to go dudes! If you haven’t seen it, this show is about a psychopath who goes out on a ride around town with an equivalently troubled potty-mouth.

The Platform is the punch in the stomach you feel the moment you go down the top of a roller coaster. It’s a painfully good ride, but also a short one. There is no climax within but the whole movie itself is one giant climax. Plus, it’s in Spanish. I hope this collection brings you that horrendous gut-wrenching feeling that I’m talking about.

Dark explores the intricacies and complications of time travel when handed to the wrong beings, aka humans. As humans, we are often emotional, selfish, and make terrible decisions. Now add time travel to this and you get chaos. This collection is inspired by THAT chaos: mind-boggling, brain-melting chaos that you just can’t resist.

Laura Bishai (She/her/hers) is the founder of Body Language, a writing project that brings conversations about sex into the open.
Hayley Cranberry Small is an urban planner, ceramicist, and disability justice advocate. She is the founder of Lutte Collective, a space and community for disabled and chronically ill artists.
Shedding light on the works that prefers to stay in the dark: "I like works that have a harsher context to it and are on the bleaker side for the color scheme. I think this collection reflects the thoughts of the viewer back on them, because the viewer projects their own interpretations onto the pieces. I like the openness of meaning and that it opens the door to conversation. "

"I often feel like I live life in the space between two worlds, walking a tightrope between opposite forces. Analytical & Creative. Passion & Indifference. Dark & Light. This collection contains pieces that appeal to that sense of balance, and contrast. I like pieces that are bold, and dramatic, but also soft, and illusory. I usually hang artwork in clusters throughout my home, in odd-numbered groupings, with scattered placements. I move pieces around a lot, mixing up with groupings to give it a new feel."

This curation is all about Thanksgiving, curated by Paige, one of our interns.
"For me, Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays, full of family, food, and watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. It is one of the best days of the year, capped off with drinks and epic boardgame battles with my parents and siblings. This year of course will be different, for me, it will be a Gobblerito, a good bourbon ale, and a Zoom background full of one of a kind artwork! I built this Gallery Wall inspired by the feeling, fun, and humor of the holiday while representing the uniquely complicated strangeness of 2020."

What I see when I hear the word “rubble”. My love of moss (on rocks, trees, grout lines in tiles). What I dreamed I could dig up from my backyard when I was seven. These snippets of memory and fantasy build from my experience with the bizarre overlap in nature and infrastructure in suburbia. I took inspiration for this collection from snapshots from my memory of the overlooked undergrowth. Fairy rings in mulched over medians, bits of gravel with neon paint mysteriously on the corners, and my esteemed childhood collection of fanciful woodchip shapes are just a few of the nostalgia ridden images that bring these works together.
"Works that call on my memories and idealizations of the overgrown corners I rooted around in my childhood."

They firmly believe comfort is for suckers. Dance until you drop, turn on them five strobe lights until you can barely see, turn up the volume until your neighbors start banging on your wall with brooms.
New Years Eve 2012, my family and I ended up going to bed at 10:50 PM. What’s better than dazzling fireworks, tangy champagne, and ear-banging loud cheers of countdown? Sleep, apparently.

Unf**kwithable | The cool older relative vibes | Marie Kondo folding
They rejoice at the occasional heartfelt random interactions on the subway but feel the most rejuvenated within the presence of their own mind. Like the works in this collection, their conversations are steered by a rather complex subject matter.
But no matter what -- there’s always that one person who has to get their full beauty sleep. And this collection is for them!
This collection is inspired by the jolly holiday spirit embodied by those who rewatch Home Alone every year. Cozy pajamas? Check. Hot chocolate? Check. Snuggly movie partner? Check.
Character card
Bodega sandwiches for lunch | Yearly visit to the Rockefeller tree | Favourite playlist on loop
They seek the comforting fuzzy feelings of re-visiting their favorite bookstore for the hundredth time but also enjoy a hint of bold adventure every now and then. This collection is for the art enthusiast who wants pieces where the sentiment of home and escapade coexist.
If you have a special someone like this in your life, look no further. Gift them anything from this collection and you’ll successfully avoid being what the French call les incompetents.
Perpetually connected, they never stop sending flowers. Wether waiting on a note from Mr. Darcy or stumbling through a secret garden, subdued purples and the colors of springtime speak to their warm heart.
Warm colors in earthy tones are where their heart is, but neons and bold shapes put their head somewhere else.

Seema says: "I selected works for this collection with a particular proclivity towards reclaimed materials, subject matters that celebrate natural forms, and topics that address consumerism and environmental decay."
