Joshua Abelow photoblogs a studio visit with artist Polly Apfelbaum.

Roberta Smith noted in a 2010 review that "Ms. Apfelbaum… [is] trying a new tack. Working in a manner reminiscent of the colored-glass technique of milles fleurs, she has fashioned small, smooth, brightly patterned panels she calls Feelies from contrasting shades of polymer and plasticine clay. There is a cuteness factor here, but it is quickly overruled by the blazing colors, assorted stripes, dots, checks, swirls and grids and abstract intelligence evident in the 200- plus examples." 

Some of these works are visible in Abelow's photos.
