This is a disjointed blog that frequently focuses on art, but also the many other things that interest me.

Klosterruine Eldena (The Ruin at Eldena) painted by Caspar David Friedrich, 1825
Ruins stood for what was lost, and yet there were beautiful-peaceful, historic, intellectual. Not tragic or regrettable. Lena tried to keep hers that way too, and she succeeded to some extent. Why not celebrate what you had rather than spend your time mourning its passing? There could be joy in things that ended. — Ann Brashares, Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood
The grand releasing of the sky lanterns for Charlotte’s final project for our two major studio courses this semester. She spent the last two weeks drawing animals from la Specola, a museum with a huge collection of taxidermied creatures here in Florence. We took the train out to Sinalunga, where the drawings got acetone transferred onto the lanterns, and then released them into the night. It was super beautiful/difficult/emotional and it felt like a memorial and an art project and a celebration all in one. This video is not her final cut of the documentation but it’s the one I like the best and you can try to spot me after the 2:00 mark.
