antica terra maggie harrison wine box set

Maggie Harrison, head winemaker at Antica Terra in Oregon's Willamette Valley, has collaborated with artists Julie Mehretu, Paul Pfeiffer, and Jessica Rankin to create a limited-edition box set of wines. Each set includes wines blended collaboratively and individual artworks packaged with the bottles, described as a “Museum in a Box.” Proceeds from the 150 sets benefit Denniston Hill, the artist residency founded by Mehretu and Pfeiffer. Harrison also opened an Art Meadow at Antica Terra this past summer, featuring a site-specific installation by Lily Clark, with plans for another exhibition next year.

jackson pollock children drip patterns study

A new study published in *Frontiers of Physics* analyzed paintings created during a 2003 'Dripfest' experiment, where children aged 4–6 and adults aged 18–25 were asked to splatter paint like Jackson Pollock. Using fractal and lacunarity analysis, researchers found that adults produced denser, more intricate patterns, while children's paintings were more clustered and smaller in scale, likely due to differences in biomechanical balance and coordination. Notably, Pollock's own fractal values fell near the children's range, suggesting his physical limitations influenced his technique.
