Last week was absolutely crazy, but we managed to design a paper set in the lane way for my partners PHD performance and even managed to keep the rain at bay 2 hours before the performance. And while I talk about spaces, I would like to share these stunning and yet so minimalistic images by Anne Kathrin Greiner.
While I was crunching up paper for Paul’s upcoming PHD dance performance next week, I relalised that it must be time for another post. A while ago I received these lovely images from Sarah Girner. About her project she says: “For the last year I have been working on a project called The Transience of Things, which focuses on Estate Sales in Westchester County. The sales strike me as incredibly interesting because it is the last time that the homes (be that a childhood home or a place you lived your entire life) exist in all their parts. I walk through the rooms and I can piece together the owners’ lives bit by bit. The sales are usually related to death, divorce or a move. What interests me further is that these particular houses are all located in affluent Westchester County where many of the interiors have not changed since the 1950′s. The flight to the suburbs and Cheever and Yates come immediately to mind. So does Betty Friedan. In some of the houses the frantic color-coding of furniture and wallpaper reminds me of The Problem That Has No Name.”
I always enjoy “quiet” images which leave me with plenty of space to think and dream. Next week will be a absolutely crazy with setting up the set, so I can not promise that I will be able to post anything.
I adore people with a passion. I do not necessarily need to share it, but their enthusiasm makes their project/interest so interesting and exciting that it is easy to understand what draws them to it in the first place. So when I came upon Aaron Wojack’s “Pigeon Flying” I was once again reminded how infectious passions can be. I think he did a great job portraying this special relationship between the birds and their keepers and whilst I will not take up pigeon keeping, I will certainly look at them a little differently knowing their history.
Many thank you’s to everybody who submitted images for this blog or UYW. Whilst I try to have a look at all of the submissions (and get back to you), sometimes I simply run out of time and hope that I will get to them later. These rich and intensely colored images are from Marko Tardito from France. I can almost hear the sounds of the kids, smell the seawater and engulf myself on a little adventure.
Last November I had the pleasure to travel to Tasmania to take some images of drought resistant grass fields. It was not long before I discovered these fields of white and I simply had to find a way to get to that property. I adore poppies and have never seen white ones before, so you can imagine my delight, standing amongst these gorgeous flowers – I felt like Alice in wonderland.
Every time I think I do not have enough time for UYW and my blog, I get inspired all over again by all the artists out there, constantly producing amazing images. These images are from Yann Orhan and I simply adore their softness which lead me into a story through the wilderness.
