Withdrawal

Posted on by

So we have been trying to post regularly now. Once a day, around the morning, just in time for your coffee/tea/other warm beverage break.

And then, on Saturday AM, we did not post. Thought it was fair to take a day off. Did not inform the readers- just took off. And now we are going through withdrawal. A feeling so hollow–for those who have experienced it. We missed you. We missed writing. And we missed the Discipline.

So with all apologies that are due to you, here is a fabulous mobile that we saw recently. All parts are metal. This was made by a pair of Belgian Artists. We are still trying to source their website….Google has not been too kind so far in aiding this search. Reaching out to the owners of the mobile to find its source.

You all, just enjoy the colors and the vibrancy…

Redefining Public space?

Posted on by

Maybe “re-defining” is too strong a term- its raises expectations. One expects a strong, deliberate deviation from the norm. A statement. A space like no other.
No- the example below is not a re-definition of public space. It is perhaps a different expression of it…yes that is the term. EXPRESSION.

A construction zone on a street…expressing itself (courtesy of Le Pain Quotidien) as a public zone.

Interesting detail of floor structure- Place it anywhere and Voila!..instant decking for public space!

Patience

Posted on by

Beautiful video shared by Geninne (a great artist, by the way). Her blog is here. This video film is an original work, conceptualized, designed and produced by Jim Hill & Meesh Rheault Miller of Glowing Heads, Olympia WA. The music was a piece by Laura Inserra. The book featuring in the video, Patience, was designed, created and demonstrated by Randi Parkhurst at Parkhurst Paper Arts.

Thank you Meesh, for getting in touch and for sharing your wonderful work.
