Intentional unintentions of Philippe Starck
Usually, I think the eclectic aesthetic can become “cluttery” and really, who likes clutter? I think we are all trying to minimize the mess and cut back because, again really, who likes clutter? Obviously, this is why minimalism is so appealing. I think that minimalistic interior design, however, can lose the human connectivity and livability because it is almost too clean. So I present to you, a good balance, in Philippe Starck‘s work and if you are not familiar with it, spend a minute and get acquainted with him. He has an ability, unlike any other, to create an eclectic...

My son is terrified of bees because he was stung the very first day of preschool. He then decided he didn’t want to play outside or go near a trampoline (that is where he was stung) because he knew there was another one waiting to get him. Because he was so scared, my daughter developed the same fear. So, to help them overcome the terror of a bee sting, we have been checking out every available book from the library and have come to discover that bees are hard workers and create beautiful amazing works of art, or hives, and don’t really want to sting him. And, when I came across...

Artist Anne Lindberg‘s installations are threadingly inspiring. If you haven’t ever seen her Graphite Drawings or Thread Drawings, you should. Then after viewing those, you’ll see where her inspiration for these installations comes from. Lindberg threads single colored strands of thread across spaces and with the use of lights creates dimensions that you’ve not yet experienced. The sheer number of stranded threads together with Lindberg’s meticulous hands create stunning landscapes. She is currently showing at the Nevada Museum of Art and they say this of her...

I don’t subscribe to the statement that “less is more” because most of the time it isn’t true. Think of the last live music concert you attended. Wait, the last GOOD concert you attended. And what did you do at the end? You hollered “ENCORE! ENCORE! ENCORE!” because you didn’t want the the ear-phoric music to end or the night for that matter. Less is more???? Of course not. However, I realize there are instances where “less” truly “is more.” When I return home to toys all over the floor in the kitchen, the living room, up the...
