when in doubt get inspired
i'm feeling short on words.... so just a couple thoughts....
the other day i woke up and put together an outfit totally inspired by martha of uniform studio. i have always loved gray and ochre together, but i had never worn them together. my outfit was no where near as amazing as the clothes that are available at uniform studio , but... i was happy to wear things in my wardrobe in a new combination!
julie mehretu is an aritst i have a serious crush on. her work is so layered - photos will never do it justice - the intricacy and the attention to detail and pattern just blows me away. i've been lucky enough to see her work twice in person. once at the berkeley art museum and one time at the whitney .
there's a new book of hers. i think i might have to get it.
hope your second half of the week goes well! stay tuned... on monday a project gets announced here!

very excited to hear about your new project too!!
I am so looking forward to the new project :)
i am in awe of your hand drawings. i have always been scared of drawing or painting hands, but it's always what i'm drawn to in artwork.
Amazing artist- so much space in the work you've shown.
Wow, I'm really blown away by Julie Mehretu's drawings! That book is definitely on my wish list. Were they really big drawings and what kind of mediums does she use beside what looks like drawing on mylar? I wish I could see them in person too:)
Excited to hear monday announcement.
And loved all the hands (and your wild and wonderful collection of rings).
see ya, g xo
thanks for all the outfit love...
and glad you like julie mehretu too!!
