Artist: Tviga Vasilyeva – Soundstills

Soundstills by Tviga Vasilyeva. The white forms in these photographs are the sculptural manifestations of audio footage that was recorded along the border between Russia and Finland. So amazing, I love these. Click here to view the rest of the set.

“The soundwaves are actual objects, reminiscent of the height of a tree. I recorded them when the forest was still there. When the trees had gone, I put the ‘sounds’ back to where they used to exist, sounds that look like trees that will never be heard again.”

A Single Man, Trailer

Cannot wait to see A Single Man, directed by Tom Ford. It looks like one, long Tom Ford commercial but I’m okay with that. He’s an artist in the nth degree and an inspiration to me.

Allan Gray: "Legend" (James Dean)

“This was an incredibly challenging board,” says Rose. “You just take it for granted that James Dean is so iconic, so to go and mess with him and re-plan his life, if it doesn’t work it’s like you’re desecrating his memory.”

Challenges & Harmony

I’m working on finding a personal balance with my material side. I’m aware that I shouldn’t let things like money and status dictate success. I know I shouldn’t like objects and things. It makes me feel better knowing that it would suck to loose my computers, my car, my clothes, my toys, but I know that’s about as far as it would go. I know they are only things, and I wouldn’t be losing any part of myself in them, but I still feel the urges of more. I may never be rid of this part of my psyche, but I’m working on living with a sense of harmony, and by being aware of it I can keep working towards bettering myself and removing it from me to the best of my ability. I must stop projecting on others and getting angry for their materialism.

To quote my dear friend Alison Paine, “Turn your judgment to curiosity.”

Right now I’m ‘poorer’ than I’ve been in a while, and I’ve never been happier. I’m also about to ride a wave of incredible success after many opportunities have presented themselves.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve worked hard to get where I am, I’ve also been extremely lucky, in the right places at right times, and the next few months/years are going to be the hardest I’ll have ever worked—and in comparison I’m pretty used to 12 & 13 hour days. They will challenge me emotionally, creatively and physically, but that’s what life is about. Challenges.
