What I'm looking at

1. Huts. Always huts.

2. What I wish was huge forget-me-nots.

3. Sashiko/boro pieces.

4. Andrea Zittel's living units.

Strange architecture

Someone is building something in the woods behind our house. I don’t know who or why, but I do find it quite beautiful. I keep coming back to this place because this construction has been ever-changing over the years – once it looked like an ordinary campsite, another time it rather had the vibe of a pagan altar… And now this “hut”.

This post was also posted at Tales From the Woods today. And my sylvan residency draws nearer!

LGW inspirations of late

New year, new projects. 

Researching and collecting material for another follow-up to The Last Girl in the Woods, a project that comes into its third year this year. There's just so much more to do.

First of all came the bark boats, developing into an installation, later distilled in the pages of a zine.

Now, I'm looking forward to approaching LGW through working with costume, garments and such.
