An image from Le Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature, for an exhibit I'm looking forward to. Such a beautiful form. Google's (slightly weird) translation of the brief: Small misery gods took shape in Kyoto in 2015, during the artist 's residence at Villa Kujoyama. They fit into the continuity of the creative work around… Continue reading Les petits dieux de misère
Music, in a lesser but similar way, is a memory trigger like scent / smell. Visceral. And a visceral response is a true thing, or at the least a real thing, which may be the same after all.
There was a cafe in the 10th where Zac and I had our first breakfast. It was run by a couple of elderly men, had a mural on the rear wall. It's a place I think my dad would totally dig; charming, very unmodern.
I've flown out to the Santa Fe area to help friends open Madrid General, a pop-up shop for the holiday season, which will be a fully realized shop & gallery in the Spring. The stars in the desert are limitless. So is the silence. The hum of electricity and plumbing seem amplified in the dense quiet… Continue reading A trip to the desert
Planning a trip is one of my favorite things to do; it's a huge part of the overall enjoyment— anticipation, research, adding stars to Google maps of things that look worth a visit. I've already begun adding little yellow stars to Bruges, which I plan to visit for a day or two between Amsterdam and Paris. Another… Continue reading planning is part of the trip
“Anbetung des Korsetts” Or, Adoration of the Corset, by Bele Bachem and Wolfgang Ebert. I found this at a book seller's stall in a little market in Amsterdam near Nieuwmarkt. Zac and I each found several books there, and a lot of vintage postcards. It's a German book, published in 1961, and the illustrations are fantastic. They remind… Continue reading An illustrated book acquired on my travels
On the Sunday through Tuesday morning after Thanksgiving I went on a little road trip with the chickens and Jess out to Jenny Jump State Forest in New Jersey. Though it was a clear and mild day, there was enough snow there still to make it very picturesque.
I was in Amsterdam, Paris, and Berlin for two weeks, having returned on October 9. It's sad when a long-awaited trip finds itself in the past, and I miss it. Also, in other news: The 12 Houses Zodiac calendar was fully funded! It will be going to press within a week or less, and should… Continue reading A drawing from the trip abroad
An addendum to yesterday's post involving the cherry seeding machine; here are additional acquisitions from the same trip to Pennsylvania: primarily photographs, plus one small book. A fair number of photos of youngsters. I generally base my decisions on quality; whether as a photograph pure and simple (composition, exposure, print quality, etc), or on how interesting… Continue reading Additional acquisitions from PA
A weekend road trip that was intended to be a cabin trip to New Jersey, but it's hunting season and all of our usual cabins were booked— so we went to Pennsylvania in search of antiques and general get-out-of-the-city time. This resulted in some wonderful new acquisitions for The Museum*, the above object being easily… Continue reading Don’t be alarmed, that’s just my mechanical separator.
