NYC!

I spent some time in New York last week, and only took three pictures.



Vintage tin tiles!

Sun comin' up!

Beautiful baby kitten!


I looked at lots of art, some of which is still on my mind.

This show by Mamma Andersson and Jockum Nordstrom was one of my favourites. I had seen Jockum Nordstom's work, but never Mamma Andersson's, and I was really taken by it.

Some of my faves





Also saw the Whitney Biennial. My favourite piece was actually part of the permanent collection, Sans II by Eva Hesse.



Eva Hesse has been my favourite artist for years, and seeing this work in person was actually really moving. I was surprised at how visceral of a reaction I felt while looking at it. The photo above is not the actual installation at the Whitney, as this piece has been split up into sections, and is owned by various museums and collectors around the world, but is a similar approximation.

Other highlights were Detroit by Ari Marcopoulos and Untitled by Robert Grosvenor.
This is a video of his work being installed


Art! Who knew it could be so exciting! ha.

Buy My Wares!

I've recently started this jewelry line called Parallel + Bound. I think it is a perfect combination of my interest in fashion and art, and am really enjoying designing and crafting my pieces so far. I'm aiming to create a look book soon too. Fun summer project!

I've just set up an online store. Check it out!

The other day I listened to this. Pretty great.




Made some more of these things. Online store in the works!



Picked flowers with this babe.



And watched this guy hit three home runs in a row. Magical!
