Last spring, a male goldfinch slammed into our sliding glass door and died on the deck. Those brilliant yellow feathers would never attract another female. I needed to memorialize his short life: a bed of dandelion flowers, violets, maple seeds and magnolia petals was assembled in a Sailor’s Valentine design over a light box. Even in death, there can be beauty.

"Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences...."

““Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences. (Roy Ascott’s phrase.) That solves a lot of problems: we don’t have to argue whether photographs are art, or whether performances are art, or whether Carl Andre’s bricks or Andrew Serranos’s piss or Little Richard’s ‘Long Tall Sally’ are art, because we say, ‘Art is something that happens, a process, not a quality, and all sorts of things can make it happen.’ … [W]hat makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you — so the value of the work lies in the degree to which it can help you have the kind of experience that you call art.””

- Brian Eno (via jessiethatcher)

photojojo:

Using a home-made mixture of bioluminescent resin, Miya Ando meticulously coated a thousand leaves and floated them in a small pond. During the day, the coating absorbed light energy from the sun.

Once night arrived, each leaf could be seen emitting miraculous hues of blue and purple.

rahweeta:

Busyness is often misconstrued as a measure of success, it’s important to take care of yourself and put aside time to just be. Don’t underestimate the value of doing nothing.

“Sometimes when I look at you, I feel I’m gazing at a distant star.
It’s dazzling, but the light is from tens of thousands of years ago.
Maybe the star doesn’t even exist any more. Yet sometimes that light seems more real to me than anything.”

- Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun (via thevagabondwoes)
