Our Intuitive Draw

We are not simply the shell of our bodies, nor structure of our bones. Why we create and collect is our intuitive draw toward beauty, self-expression, and storytelling. Our need to make sense of our being human, by way of the built environment, making, and language. Finding purpose and meaning on a spinning planet amongst stars, galaxies, and the blackness of the unknown.

We are not simply the shell of our bodies, nor structure of our bones, we are beauty, nature, curiosity and fear.

Our memories show us who we’ve been, and our desires what’s to come. We are of will and creative minds with the ability to build bridges and morph with change.

The ceramic vessels by artist Kathryn Robinson-MIllen are influenced by architecture and nature. Though structural, these vessels are intended for flower arranging, such as ikebana or sogetsu, further exploring the contrasts of the human-built and the organic. Their painterly surfaces contrasted with the structural overall form, expands this exploration. Her work delves deep into our natural tendencies of the ordered and organic, structural and simplistic, self-expression and inspiration: our built and natural world. Beauty and the perfectly imperfect.

How We Live

August 24, 2023 Carl Barnett

How we live in our homes is part of the process of creating and living our lives. A means to uplift, ease, and build the future possible. Through beauty and the creative endeavor, we thrive in the moment, deeper, wider, and onward.

Digging Deeper And Going Further

August 23, 2023 Carl Barnett

Our environment whether natural or built, eases, and inspires by way of intuition, our pull toward the beauty of nature and the hand-created. To build a better life is to be more attuned to our natural tendencies and self-regulation, buffering the social dogmas that are counterintuitive to who we are and desire to become. It is with nature and beauty we are inspired to be who we are, digging deeper and going further.
