Anna’s photos feel like now. There’s a familiarity when you see them. She’s got a diverse portfolio of mostly fashion photography that I so enjoy looking through. Been meaning to post this one for a while…

Fell in love with the Stairs House today—a beach-side home in Shimane Prefecture, Japan. See Spoon & Tamago for more deets and pics.

Isn’t this interior with bookshelves along the stairs incredible?

Coast Modern Film

Filmmakers Michael Bernard and Gavin Froome take you on a journey through three generations of modernist movements on the West Coast of North America.

From Rudolf Schindler and Richard Neutra’s 1920s Hollywood, through to the second wave of post WWII America to today’s current modernist renaissance.

This film speaks with the architects and their patrons and asks if Modernism’s time has finally come or did it ever really go away.

Coast Modern is set for completion this Fall. Following @CoastModernFilm for updates. I definitely want to see this.

They will talk about how the space that one lives in influences their life. The modernist houses themselves will take centre stage, shot in high definition: the open plans, simplicity of form and integration of site will awe and inspire.

Portraits by Benjamin Shine

rembrandt_01.jpg

I received an email a couple weeks ago from Peter, a reader who had seen the post about Simon Schubert, and he was recommending I take a look at Benjamin Shine’s portraits. I’d peeked at them, and now I’m finally posting. They’re amazing! He essentially “paints with fabric”.

The pieces are big—around 4×5 feet or so—and they’re most impressive when you see the detail shots.

One that’s received quite a bit of attention is a large portrait of President Obama made of a single retired American flag woven through nylon mesh.

obama.jpg

Probably the most striking pieces is the portrait you see at the top of 17th century painter, Rembrandt. Sort of an homage to Rembrandt’s use of light and shadow, this piece looks like it might be a charcoal drawing when in fact its is constructed out of one piece of tulle pleated and pressed between sheets of plexiglass. Unbelievable.

MoCo Loco picked up the story and has some terrific large images of the Rembrandt portrait. Go see!

I want to live in a Sarah Applebaum world.

Years ago my grandmother tried to teach me how to crochet. A couple times. I thought I didn’t have the patience for it. Maybe I didn’t have the imagination.
