Who We Are.

“Surrounding oneself with beauty is an intuitive endeavor that mirrors who we are, easing and inspiring life onward.”

To live and let live and to merely do is a mindset that emphasizes self care in a chaotic world, stepping back from the demanding core of society and living life autonomously and simply. Surrounding oneself with beauty is an intuitive endeavor that mirrors who we are, easing and inspiring life onward. To live with nature and the creative endeavors of others simplifies life to the basic elements of who we are, softening the noise of contemporary life.

“To be inspired by beauty is to be inspired by our truest self and our closest collective: to inspire and to be inspired.”

It is by going inward that we create and see a more beautiful outward, where life and self merge more clearly and excess falls away as we edit our needs. To be inspired by beauty is to be inspired by our truest self and our closest collective: to inspire and to be inspired. Beauty is how we see it and how we make it, how we decipher and consume. We are who we say we are and what we decide to create. 

“Beauty and the ugly share the same frame of space, as they both come from within.”

In a world that often seems ugly it’s knowing that we can create its opposite that sets the scales more even. Beauty is the dominate in humanity’s pendulum, though difficult at times to see. The creative mind is the continual force that moves us forward from the seemingly backward slide. Beauty and the ugly share the same frame of space, as they both come from within.

“We have the capacity of both beauty and ugly, of choice and creation, to find our way forward in the spiraling dark.” 

We are born from the stars, the energy that creates, the vastness of beauty and the depth of possibility. We have the capacity of both beauty and ugly, choice and creation, to find our way forward in the spiraling dark. 

Beautiful Mind

“How we live within the beauty and the ugly of life can ease or restrain all efforts forward.”

It’s in how we live now that the future blooms, where our actions of today informs our tomorrows. How we live within the beauty and the ugly of life can ease or restrain all efforts forward. Where beauty lights the darkest corners and will navigates the ongoing way.

“Beauty shows us who we are by how we view it, how we surround and edit, covet and give.”

It’s not the things we collect that makes life shine, it’s the meaning we attach to them, how they pull at our emotions, enhancing our experiences and what we already have within. Beauty shows us who we are by how we view it, how we surround and edit, covet and give. It is who we are innately, what we strive for in words and deeds. Beauty has its ugly side, as we too do, each has the potential to build and destroy, depending on which wolf we feed, the good or bad within.

“To surround oneself with beauty, to experience, view and use, sparks the mind into action and emotion as it eases the way forward.”

Life is paradoxical, birth and death, love and distain. To find peace we navigate the dark, in us and around, aligning ourselves to the light of beauty, wherever, whoever, it may be. To surround oneself with beauty, to experience, view and use, sparks the mind into action and emotion as it eases the way forward. Through the terrain of doubt and the future of what’s possible, the creative mind builds, destroys and builds continuum, allowing us to choose and choose again. This is who we are and who we wish not to be, what we can change and create, and cannot. 

“To find peace we navigate the dark, in us and around, aligning ourselves to the light of beauty, wherever, whoever, it may be.”

Creative Mind

“We create beauty because we are beauty, and its opposite, twirling and shifting as origami unfolding.” 

We are by nature curious, we touch, sense and ponder the physical realm to give meaning to who we are and the world we live within. What we see and create is a mirror to our selves, manifested from the stars, deep seeded, inward. We create beauty because we are beauty, and its opposite, twirling and shifting as origami unfolding. 

“The creative mind has fostered everything we see, feel and touch and a beautiful mind can bend the bow to a different mark.”

What we create is the manifestation of what we think and feel, therefore how we live is directly proportioned to mindset: to think beauty and create beauty, to think change and make change. The creative mind has fostered everything we see, feel and touch and a beautiful mind can bend the bow to a different mark. Paired with physical action the creative mind can sow the seed and harvest the possible, building the towers that shine the light. It is through the creative endeavors that change happens, through the push and the pull of mind and action, time and vision. 

“We are through instinct our own creators, cartographers, doers of truth and lies.”

In this world of opposing reality, there is no one road, no one right to every wrong, only choose and choose again, a pendulum of progress and process: create and destroy. Each one of us comes from the created realm of chance and action and continue that process throughout our lives. We are through instinct our own creators, cartographers, doers of truth and lies. We are in constant birthing, as yesterday is no longer and tomorrow is merely construct of mind: fear and hope. Our creative mind is compass to the convoluted terrain of emotion and the reality of being.

Life Expressed

“How we live and our mindset are an intricate part in being better and doing better, living life fuller with internal ease and flow.” 

Creative self expression is a language of the intuitive mind, inspired by the history of our genetics and experiences, life, hope and fear. How we live and our mindset are an intricate part in being better and doing better, living life fuller with internal ease and flow. 

“To surround oneself with beauty inspires and informs, mirroring who we are and wish to become.”

There is a connection between architecture, art and furniture that speaks to the body and mind, inducing well being and a sense of place: who we are, where we are. This often goes unnoticed, often under utilized as we navigate our lives, building futures for ourselves and others. To surround oneself with beauty inspires and informs, mirroring who we are and wish to become.

“It is the creative mind that resolves and destroys, weaves a web and builds a bridge, propelling the circle of life onward.”

The creative languages speak to the universal truth of being connected, to each other and the natural world, pulling deep from the well of emotion, intuition, history and knowledge. It is the creative mind that resolves and destroys, weaves a web and builds a bridge, propelling the circle of life onward. Creativity is blood, bone and marrow, language of the ages, foreseer of the future. 

“Creativity is blood, bone and marrow, language of the ages, foreseer of the future.”





Tribes Of Things

“We are guided by an internal compass of mind and intuition, a wiring of histories both years and centuries, spiraling and looping, replicating and deleting.”

Who we are when we are alone speaks to our character and what we surround ourselves with speaks to emotion. We are guided by an internal compass of mind and intuition, a wiring of histories both years and centuries, spiraling and looping, replicating and deleting. Who we are when we are alone is not entirely alone, we are made of ancestral energy and infused by the stories of makers, builders and writers. Who we are when we are alone, is not, alone. 

“We are uplifted by the stories of the makers, we see the evidence of the hand and hear their poetics, feel their shapes and textures.”

The nuances of our living environments speak in whispers, telling stories of affirmation and light heartedness. We are uplifted by the stories of the makers, we see the evidence of the hand and hear their poetics, feel their shapes and textures. We are embraced by their physical presence, romanced by the visual splendor and reassured by the structure of order: walls, windows and doors. The spaces we live within are not filled with mere things, they are stories, energy, clusters of tribes.
