light study

I'm working on a space that is inspired by these photos.

Here is my first sketch model.

indoor photos

I've been taking a lot of outdoor photos the past few days, and they're all very grey and cold. I took some indoor shots to balance out the grey. I'm ready for winter to pass. 

ice lanterns

I made a first attempt at ice lanterns made with tupperware and plastic buckets as molds. Here are the first two. Two taller/skinnier ones are freezing in the back yard. I'm just going to keep doing it - making one or two a day - until I have several. They're very charming - and very Minnesotan.

concrete formwork to die for

I learned about Peter Zumthor's Earth and Fire chapel today. I cannot stop thinking about it. Thomas Mayer photographed it and it is stunning.

paper dimensions

I have boxes of this paper and lots of interest in making art with it. This one feels like it's on the right track.
