Aesthetics

Cindy Sherman via Resource 

How we see ourselves and the world around us is clearly personal. How we see things is a choice. A choice of sensory judgement. An instinctual choosing of aesthetics that speak to who we are. How we surround ourselves is how we perceive ourselves and how we wish to be perceived. Beauty is multifaceted. It is within the ugly. Within the hidden. Within our grasp, our eye.

  Aesthetics is pervasive in our lives and behavior. It's basic, it's primal. The way we dress, style our hair, decorate our homes, prepare our food, give names to things-these are all aesthetic activities. Then there's the novel's we read, the music we listen to, the movies we view, the video games we play, the art we make and collect.  ~Leonard Koren, author

Surroundings

 Bergmeisterwolf Architekten via Famous Architects
I am influenced by nature and my surroundings in many ways. Influenced not only visually but spatially. And not only in my interior design work but my studio work. Our surroundings influence our behavior. Our moods. The flow of an interior can be as the flow of nature. And the order and chaos of emotion is too, the same for nature. This is not surprising nor myth. This is us in the world. We and the universe.

Up On The Roof

Casa Malaparte, Capri via Architectural Design
Rooftop dwelling is the perfect way to expand your living space and commune with nature. Commune with your inner wild child. What better way to surround yourself with nature while surrounding yourself with the view of your place in the world. When things start getting you down, go up on the roof.
