Twilight, the ‘blue hour’, is arriving earlier and earlier these days.
It’s a beautiful, painterly time of the day…
Like this:
I love these silent, ghostly photograms of deceased animals and plants by artist Kate Breakey (from the Poetics of Light exhibition at the Etherton Gallery, Tucson, Arizona. Sadly long finished, if you live in Tucson and were thinking of going to have a look!).
And I particularly love this dense yet expansive display. It draws you in and envelops you with the promise of a thousand tiny, beautiful details…
I know you’re not supposed to talk about the frame when you admire a piece of art (the suggestion usually being that the frame is more interesting than the work itself) but I also love this eclectic mix of frame shapes, sizes and styles. Oh, to have been in Tucson eight months ago to have experienced this hauntingly beautiful installation!

After a very busy work week, filled with several freelance design projects and sometimes maddening client requests (of the “we like purple, we must have purple, lots of it!… but can you make it all a little less purple, without removing any of the purple bits?” variety) I’m feeling a bit like these ghostly swallow images look: a little blurry, a little indistinct & nebulous, but also hopeful… for a quiet weekend with time and space to focus in on one of my own creative projects (starting the papercutting part – yay! – of the experimental* project previously mentioned here).
Whatever you’re wishing for this weekend I hope it comes your way… in spades.
*experimental in the sense that I have no fixed end-plan for this project. I simply intend to play with combining the screenprints I made last week (on a variety of differently coloured and interestingly textured papers) with papercutting, and perhaps a bit of overlaid ink or watercolour exploration…
I’m looking forward to the play :)

So far it has been a week of blustery, changeable weather and the colours out there seem, to me, to herald the always-too-sudden transition from Autumn to Winter. I’m enjoying the contrasts of light & dark, saturated & desaturated, and warm & cold colours (Johannes Itten would be having a field day!) but I guess I must reluctantly accept that the Big-W has just about arrived!

On Friday evening a portal opened above West Amsterdam.
It was beautiful and inviting…
… but, sadly, I remained earthbound.
