old shoes, new shoes


these are the exact same pair of shoes. i hate having to replace things.

i am not throwing the old ones out. i am too attached to them. i will just wear them for special occasions (like doing work in the plaster studio).

plaster clock


so i made this project for sculpture class. i threw a quarter cup of plaster at the same spot on a wall (i covered it with paper first) every 5 minutes, 100 times (500 minutes). after i threw the plaster, i took a picture. so i have this flip book i made of the plaster growing, and i made this poster too. i really love the shape the plaster made against the wall.

here is the poster. i am really pleased with it.

Sam age 12





















Today is Sam's 14th birthday.

We are going to a friends art opening, and then out to Thai food.

I wanted to bring him to hear some music for his bday... but i realized that he does that all the time.

He is like a little monk. he is calm and thoughtful. and still really confident and cool.

He is into the guitar and print making right now.

uta barth



i love her. everything is deceptively simple. i read an interview where she talked about how she shouldn't need to go travel somewhere specifically to photograph, she should be able to find inspiration and beauty in what is around her. it's all in your perspective. every place is equally full of (or not full of) inherent beauty, it's all in how you approach it.

a film by Pascal Magnin



Reines d’un Jour (Queens for a Day) 26min, 1996 (Switzerland)
Director: Pascal Magnin; Choreographers: Marie-Louise Nespolo, Christine Kung
Distributor: Idéale Audience International

Spring in the Swiss Alps. Bodies tumbling down mountain slopes, picking themselves up, leaping through the air, running, jumping. Men, women, and… cows, caught up between Heaven and Earth.

Since 1994, after graduating from the Art School of Geneva, working as the first assistant director for many feature films, and finally directing commercials and short films Pascal Magnin, a Swiss filmmaker, has been directing his own films, and focusing particularly on the dance films. Among his most known works is a trilogy called GRAND ECART (PAS PERDUS (not lost), RIENES D'UN JOUR (queen for a day) and CONTRECOUP (backlash).

jean touitou interview

excerpt on the apc catalog:

MARY: The clothes look so simple, and if you can't feel the fabric …

JEAN: I know, but what can I do? It's a mail-order catalogue. But you're making a good point. In the beginning of the century some mail order catalogues in France had fabric swatches, and that could be a good idea. Very costly, but we could do that. I'd be happy to develop a service like this because really, I hate stores. I mean, there's way too many stores. You cannot walk the street.

French designer Agnès B was born Agnès Troublé in Versailles in 1941. After graduating from Versailles’s Ecole des Beaux-Arts, she soon secured a post as a junior editor at French Elle before becoming an assistant to Dorothée Bis. After a short stint working as a freelance designer for Limitex, Pierre d’Alby, V de V and Eversbin, Agnès B opened her first Parisian boutique in 1975. The shop, a former butcher shop complete with black and white tiling in Les Halles, housed a debut collection of restyled, cut and dyed workers’ uniforms and striped rugby shirts.

Agnès B was one of the first designers to tackle the "trend-setters" head-on. Producing simple and chic collections season after season - collections which she shows privately off-schedule at the Paris ready-to-wear shows - she refuses to equate design with intricate detailing. In fact, her signature style is best captured in the precise tailoring of a crisp white shirt and the lasting luxury of a black wool jumper. By 1980, the word had spread beyond her home country and Agnès B opened her first US boutique in SoHo, New York. There she showed all her collections - for women, men and children. In 1987, she launched her own perfume,"Le B," a skincare and cosmetics range and a maternity collection. She now also has shops in London, Amsterdam and Tokyo.
