Wow, the last 2 minutes of this video! I love the way these musicians work together (and can’t wait for them to come back to US on tour sometime)

Anyone have advice about a good color desktop printer? Looking for fairly high quality, to print out things like cards, zines, and booklets. Older/“dumber” models preferable because I’d like one without its own app, AI features, etc. if possible 😑

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

A pile of tatting. 🧶

One of today’s best finds at the Met: a box made mostly from thin translucent panels of amber. (!!!) Just incredible. (Didn’t get any more details about where/when it was made, unfortunately, but somewhere in Northern Europe, at least a hundred years ago)

Tatting update 🧶 (following this fantastic pattern by Robin Perfetti)
A few years in, this album still holds up! Such fun, joyous tracks 😌
I’m quite pleased with how this plastic heat-bending job turned out! (The pieces aren’t finished yet, but this was the major roadblock step) 🎨
While I’m thinking about less-famous paintings, here’s my favorite John Singer Sargent painting (and also one of my favorite landscapes ever) 🎨
Simplon Pass, 1911, at the US National Gallery of Art
I’ve 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 🎨

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! 🎨🎨
Just a lovely little composition I walked by:
… and, 🎨 Day 30!! Interactive toy-like projects lead us back to my latest book, which is also a playable marble maze. Here’s a (rough-cut!) video:
🎨 Day 29
Light Toys, 2019 Here I was trying to make objects which could be played with—but which didn’t read so explicitly as childlike.
🎨 Day 28
I followed up the last installation by making a set of extra-fancy building blocks … but I wanted to leave the funnest part—putting them together—entirely up to viewers and not to me. Here are some of the setups my classmates made:
🎨 Day 27
Pipe Game. An installation for one of my first grad classes in 2019.
🎨 Day 26
Another break from books. Here’s Refraction, 2020. Acrylic and mixed media on panel. Done for a local 24-hr art contest.
🎨 Day 25
I posted these here a while ago, but I’ll include them again in this context!
Journals made from the scrap papers, prints, and project remains I’ve accumulated over the years—though, as usually happens, most of them also needed some brand-new stuff to conplete them.
