šµ Listening: Air for Violin and Piano by Aaron Jay Kernis.
Really happy to rediscover this today. For me, itās in a sweet spot of twentieth-century Classical music where every beautiful chord feels hard-won. But really, what a wistful and beautiful piece!

One of todayās best finds at the Met: a box made mostly from thin translucent panels of amber. (!!!) Just incredible. (Didnāt get any more details about where/when it was made, unfortunately, but somewhere in Northern Europe, at least a hundred years ago)

Tatting update š§¶ (following this fantastic pattern by Robin Perfetti)
A few years in, this album still holds up! Such fun, joyous tracks š
Iām quite pleased with how this plastic heat-bending job turned out! (The pieces arenāt finished yet, but this was the major roadblock step) šØ
While Iām thinking about less-famous paintings, hereās my favorite John Singer Sargent painting (and also one of my favorite landscapes ever) šØ
Simplon Pass, 1911, at the US National Gallery of Art
Iāve already thought that Edvard Munch gets short shrift when people only know him for The Scream, but yesterday I was introduced to yet another (really beautiful) facet of his work šØ
h/t Robin Sloanās fabulous newsletter
A pretty remarkable article:
Commute
Petals fallen onto the plants below them feels like a natural version of abstraction … at least to this abstract painter!
golden moment in downtown Brooklyn
Whew, doing this with thick wire is another level! šØšØ
Just a lovely little composition I walked by:
… and, šØ Day 30!! Interactive toy-like projects lead us back to my latest book, which is also a playable marble maze. Hereās a (rough-cut!) video:
šØ Day 29
Light Toys, 2019 Here I was trying to make objects which could be played withābut which didnāt read so explicitly as childlike.
šØ Day 28
I followed up the last installation by making a set of extra-fancy building blocks … but I wanted to leave the funnest partāputting them togetherāentirely up to viewers and not to me. Here are some of the setups my classmates made:
šØ Day 27
Pipe Game. An installation for one of my first grad classes in 2019.
šØ Day 26
Another break from books. Hereās Refraction, 2020. Acrylic and mixed media on panel. Done for a local 24-hr art contest.
šØ Day 25
I posted these here a while ago, but Iāll include them again in this context!
Journals made from the scrap papers, prints, and project remains Iāve accumulated over the yearsāthough, as usually happens, most of them also needed some brand-new stuff to conplete them.
šØ Day 24āa quick break from books, since the last couple are more complicated to post.
Paper Space IV, 2021 Mixed media
šØ Day 23
Electronic puzzle book project, which … was too overwhelming to finish š
Sensors & lights are hidden in the pages, so the book develops as you solve puzzlesāhopefully kind of like magic!
Hereās the back š¬ but pretty sure Iāll return to the idea sometime!
šØ Day 22
Project for a āstar bookā format class assignment. This oneās a personal favoriteāand also cool to see how, though the playground theme seemed more isolated at the time, itās coming back in more of my work now.
