we woke up to snow again. i'm getting tired of this weather. where is our mild west coast weather. i'm tired of all the trees falling over also. poor things.
the above is a page from one of my inspiration journals. when i was reading this months dwell and the story on the felter, claudy jongstra, i had a feeling i had seen her before. i've had these pics above of her work for a few years now. they inspire me to no end. just look at that wedding dress with the red crane... god, it's so good.
the dwell magazine is a pretty good read, but i have to say, i could give a better architectural tour of vancouver then that. i do however agree the museum of anthropology is arthur erikson's best work. the way the building is sited on the land overlooking the pacific, the feeling you get just being inside... it's amazing. as for the rest, i don't know anyone here in vancouver that are proud of those glass towers that litter the downtown, and block the views of the mountains. maybe if they took care in the planning stages of development to really know how they would impact the neighbourhood, like the excellent
dockside green in victoria. that's the way to develop.
i had decided to only post once a week, on sundays, and i've already broken my rule.
i'm going to try and stay quiet until then.
here is a drawing from a weekly series i'm doing. i'll show you the next on sunday. have a good week.
