olive, gold, and wine

a personal history of old objects, light and dark, poems and prose, an entire exhale, fingernail clippings, life in one thousand colorful sparks.

Antonio Lopez Garcia is one of the most emotional painters to me. Even though he is a realist, his details are filled with feeling. I remember his show a few years back at the MFA. It practically knocked me off of my feet.

Wow. Simplicity, mastered.

Sometimes, it’s nice to get your mind out of a busy day to fall in love with simple images like these, by Luis Gonzalez Palma. Wouldn’t it be nice to sail through a sea of sheets?

This place (an artist studio, can you imagine?!?!!??) is amazing. Out of this world. The ocean looks so vicious!

This is the perfect video to end today. I love so much about this, even though pixilated, high-tech stuff isn’t normally my thing. The undulation of the form is so complementary to nature, and the sound element is truly what takes the whole piece to the next level—it brings the outside, in. The drawings/shadows created inside the 3,600 LCD tiles suggest the calm growth of nature so beautifully, and the sound just finishes the puzzle. I love it. I love it.

Patterned by Nature is currently installed at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.
