Art type x “is thoroughly planned (at least as much as I can) and must specificaly state the meaning that I am ultimately trying to convey,” Jeffrey says. He almost never displays art type x in his studio on a normal day. It is what someone else would hang up and call art, but he prefers to look at type y.
With art type y, Jeffrey says “I find myself getting lost in during its creation. It is something that has no specific goal other than to explore my mind creativity.” This type of art is what Jeffrey would (and does) display for himself, and calls art.
Art type x makes me think of design work… while art type y is how I make my 3D work… Like most, I feel compelled to combine the two. But what would happen if I were to solely pursue art type y?
“We are all collections…” of memories, desires, beliefs, and knowledge.
(Maybe that’s why I love making collections…)
Letters of Note posts a letter John Steinbeck sent his son Thom in 1958, on the subject of love:
There are several kinds of love. One is a selfish, mean, grasping, egotistical thing which uses love for self-importance. This is the ugly and crippling kind. The other is an outpouring of everything good in you—of kindness and consideration and respect—not only the social respect of manners but the greater respect which is recognition of another person as unique and valuable. The first kind can make you sick and small and weak but the second can release in you strength, and courage and goodness and even wisdom you didn’t know you had.
Ty Spalding asked: “Why do people feel compelled to answer questions that they do not know the answer to?”
The interiors of this home by i29 architects exude a sensation of sobriety and comfort in a completely controlled open space. A common feature is that these spaces are stripped down to their most fundamental features with an abundance of natural light and a scarcity of elements in the room.
