A mixture of thoughts compiled from the week: Isamu Noguchi's uplifting sculpture, clothing brand Bode's storytelling through props, books, and oil paintings by Sahara Longe.
Loved this! It’s also great to know that other people read (no pun intended) into the props and details of an environment (especially in fashion/commercial imagery as opposed to a private home tour) because some of us take a lot of care to choose appropriate details for the purpose of the images
Yes, so much care goes into it! I worked retail and the occasional set design jobs though most of my teens and 20s and have so much appreciation for the work that goes into setting a scene!
Thanks to Agnes Varda I have taken up the idea that I am a “gleaner of images and ideas with a generous, expansive vision who makes room for ruminations”…not as someone who does not seem to have the capacity to stay focused! Here's an IG you might like (she curates displays of vintage books for stores)...I didn't even realize that that was a "thing"...and I have a shop! https://www.instagram.com/wiwltr___reads/
“ What is life if you’re not enjoying yourself whirling and twirling around, daydreaming and balancing many facets of creativity?” I’m framing this words in my studio!!!! This is the sentiment I want to live by.

Loved this post!
Anne, I LOVE the quote you shared. I resonate with it fully, and I am glad to read that we're in the same club. I need to look up Agnes Varda now!
There's a bug with Instagram today, but I already can't wait to check out the book curation account. That would be a dream job for me!!
Many thank you's!
You're welcome! Here's the link to the post where I found the words of Agnes Varda and where you can find her films to watch... https://anneseally.substack.com/p/3464-gleanings-and-ruminations
