i'm an animal lover, to put it mildly.  putting together this small collection of wood silhouettes, I began to see the true natures of these creatures through the curves of the wood.....majestic, gentle, unique, frisky, musical, serene.

this week i've been looking at a lot of pretty things to get my creative juices flowing as I start on new work.  there's no shortage of things to be inspired by, but these are some of the things that i've been especially drawn to -  striking wildlife installation, hand dipped baskets and gorgeous floor treatments as well as organic patterns on Angela Adams rugs, cardboard carpets by Wendy Plomp and colorful fabrics by Eley Kishimoto.

I saw Mike Mills film "Beginners" this weekend. I keep drifting off thinking about all the things I loved about it + his visual style of storytelling. He creates layers using subtitles, graphics and still photo's that capture time and weave the story together subtly revealing so much. Admiring his work as a graphic designer, I loved seeing his drawings.  The ways he uses them to connect you to the emotional state of Ewan McGregor's character Oliver is sublime. I'm itching to see more in his new book.
