That’s because people either used to institutionalize (early 20th century) i.e. Rosemary Kennedy or abandon their autists in the forest prior to the 19th century. And somehow autists are “the monster” that destroys families? 🙄

Pure magie

Heather Watkin’s “site specific installation marked by shipping ink-soaked cotton cords suspended in a monumental arrangement…individual cords in her arrangement can be traced back to numerous past lifetimes of sculpture making. This particular artwork is a reverent display of her drive towards reimagination… At the core of her work is the mutable, transcendent essence of things.

Emily Katz’s “larger-than-life freehand embroidery on tulle conveying a figure composed of many disparate selves. Each fragment of the figure floats above the next, with each layer isolated as if upon a diaphanous cloud yet intrinsically tied to layers within.”

Amanda Wojick’s ‘Large Cutout, Pink and Orange’ “operat[ing] like open-ended puzzles that endlessly integrate the surrounding environment within the composition of the work…the opposing pink and orange sides are linked together by irregularly shaped tracks of painted color, passing through the opening, to reach the other side. Simultaneously commemorative and celebratory, the cutouts dance between painting and sculpture, the imaginary and real, and abstractions and the everyday.”

Kirsten Bauer’s ‘Cinnamon Spice’ is a glossy, vermilion apple, offered like a riddle that can’t quite be solved. It is a moment of magic, a prompt for pause and puzzlement. The small ripe fruit is ornamented with a humble twig the artist collected, combining the organic with her roughly technical caymans odd sign painting.

Looking for some hope, inspo, ways to use lift up your voice in these tumultuous times? Go see HER FORMATION exhibit at the ACLO.

The amount allotted to national forests is already strikingly paltry! It appears that nearly over a 1/3 of the entire landmass is dedicated to raising livestock. This land needs and deserves restoration. #bringbackourwildlands

Cover for Jorge Luis Borges Collected Fictions.

Day 20📚s that have stayed with you. No particular order, no explanations. Just the covers.

This has been a fun exercise but TBF 20 doesn’t cut it-innumerable books have stayed with & not even sure these are my top 20. For instance-didn’t mention Camus once! And you gotta read Camus.

How about editing posts?

Cover of Mei Mei Berssenbrugge’s ‘A Treatise on Stars’. Title in a viridian green and author’s name in green-gold.

Day 19📚s that have stayed with you. No particular order, no explanations. Just the covers.

Day 18 📚s that have stayed with you. No particular order, no explanations. Just the covers.

Cover of The Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord. Title is in Red. Edition translated by Ken Knabb

Day 17 📚s that have stayed with you. No particular order, no explanations. Just the covers.

Book cover for Pure Color A Novel by Sheila Heti. The cover is a pleasing shade of cream or titan buff light. In the center but spreading out to the near edges of the cover is a brilliant verdant hue, the shape is somewhat ovular but resembles a solid and somewhat over zealous thumbprint (no lines) from finger-painting as on the righthand side of the thumbprint a slight angular edge forms.

Day 16 📚s that have stayed with you. No particular order, no explanations. Just the covers.

Book title Realist Magic: Objects, Ontology, Causality by Timothy Morton. Cover is black with randomized, amorphous objects that have wispy lines and tails-they have an essence of an organic substance like a bacterium or other microorganism under an electron microscope. When you look closely embedded in the mass-balls there are letters and symbols.

Day 15 📚s that have stayed with you. No particular order, no explanations. Just the covers.

Book cover is The Chicago manual of style in black font. Edition 18. In red lettering text reads: The essential guide for writers, editors and publishers. Cover background is lemon-lime yellow.

Day 14 📚s that have stayed with you. No particular order, no explanations. Just the covers.

😿🥺😿 RIP Wally. They really do fill so many roles. Deepest condolences-losing a cherished loved one is just so damn complex.
