My boyfriend Liam took this while in Ireland. It sits in the window of a farmhouse.

Anne Kipling
"The phenomenon of the moment is for me so incredible that it just takes over everything."-Kipling
She looks at things as much as possible without a preconceived idea of what these things look like. When she draws, the experience is always a discovery. When I look at her drawings, I feel the communion of energy between Kipling and her subject and the pulse of seemingly static environments.

Art Meets Fashion
Just found the Jcrew tumblr through this lovely blog. This spread is so inspiring, especially because I just got a new toy (Brother CS-6000i).

In a strange room
more from the black book
"He has always had a dread of crossing borders, he doesn't like to leave what's known and safe for the blank space beyond in which anything can happen. Everything at times of transition takes on a symbolic weight, and power. But this too is why he travels. The world you're moving through flows into another one inside, nothing stays divided anymore, this stands for that, weather for mood, landscape for feeling, for every object there is a corresponding inner gesture, everything turns into metaphor. The border is a line on a map, but also drawn inside himself somewhere." -In a Strange Room, Damon Galgut
In a Strange Room is one of the most potent and emotionally fraught books I've ever read. After I finished I considered burning it because the stories left a dull dreadful loneliness in my mind. It's always funny to me how a certain order of words can evoke emotions that I've only ever felt while alone in the world, or never felt before at all. When this happens, when we are filled with the emotional details of a life we've never lived, we can all thank the mirroring part of our brains which allows reading to be a transference of experience.
