Homework

be not forgetful to entertain strangers,

for thereby some have entertained angels unawares

it was a long battle; neither stronger than the other.
you made me let go of you; but not before you crippled me.

in the late afternoon light i can sense the darkness approaching; a still glaring warning of what lies ahead. steadily the plastic brightness of day recedes and wanes until at last the glimmer disappears; the approaching gloom, ever thickening to a dense blackness. not even your arrival can stop the night.

about the seduction of an angel
-bertolt brecht, 1948

‘angels can not be seduced at all or quickly.
pull him into the entryway,
stick your tongue in his mouth and reach

under his robe, til he gets wet; put
his face to the wall, lift his robe
and fuck him. if he stares in anguish
then hold him tightly and let him come two times;
otherwise, by the end, he’ll be in shock.

admonish him so he sways his butt;
let him know he’s free to grab your balls.
tell him he can fall without fear
while he is hanging between earth and heaven -

but don’t look him in the face while you are fucking him
and, for heaven’s sake, don’t crush his wings.’

Stupidity & Sensitivity

Since it’s nearly impossible to gauge each individual’s level of sensitivity or stupidity, I’d rather play it safe and classify this site as suitable for adults only. Although that term is still nebulous to me, the responsibility remains that of the viewer.

Curating & Criticism

The identification and definition of creativity are two different things. Challenging conventional interpretations and perspectives expands its validity and effect. I am convinced that collaborations and participation across creative industries allow for discovering a greater realisation of our potential.

Art & Collecting

I love mixing styles and textures, media and materials. But I believe in respecting personality when it comes to choosing work. There is of course the investment angle which is too boring to discuss here….or anywhere really. It is important to remember that when you live with art, it should be alive to you. That is to say it needs to move you. You need to have an affair with it.

Fashion & Architecture

Starting with the roof over your head and the clothes on your back. These are the things we inhabit. Without entering into the fashion vs trend debate. They also shape our sensibilities and the way we present ourselves.

Design & Function

Whether colour or form is your thing. Pattern or plain. What we choose to live with can make our lives easier or more challenging. Consider your commitment and convince yourself.

Gardens & Flowers

Since Eden it has been a fascination, inspiration, an indulgence of kings and common gardeners, a joy. No home is complete without it. Whether you go for potted, landscaped or organic, dry or shade, just go for it.

Treasures & Trash

Most of which are filed under S for sentimental. I respect that.
Heirlooms. Bargains. Souvenirs. Gifts. Curiosities. Found Objects. Impulse Buys.
Never hide what’s important or meaningful. Denial is a very ugly word.

History & Reality

Get to know yourself and others. As much as we live in the same world, everyone has their own version of it. Live up to yours, never fear your dreams and ideals lest they remain aspirations forever.
