This particular piece from Kazuo Shiraga caught my eye first because of the color: the rich plum was the perfect tone for a project we were working on, and the energy of the strokes—as it happens, he most famously painted with his feet while suspended above the canvas—drew me in. When I came across J.R. Schmidt’s processing posters last […]

After all of the excitement and emotion of last week, Jack and I both caught his standard springtime cold. We’re slowly getting back to business as usual. We’ve also had home improvements on the brain lately. On Friday, while we were locked down indoors during the beautiful sunny weather, we took a few moments away from the […]
Anyone who has visited our home knows that neons are not really our thing; we’re a black, white and grey with textures and a splash or two of UJC purple kind of household.

The living room of our rental was afflicted with a space lamp. Really, I assume the light fixture (which we’ve had it out for from the get-go) was from the early 90’s, and not the future, but it was difficult to tell the difference.
