Walking the Line
A walk through the Lower East Side last weekend had us snapping photos of storefronts and graphics, aging ephemera and graffiti- it was a glimpse of the grittier, old New York that we fell in love so many years ago. That said, we happened upon an eraseable board in the middle of the sidewalk advertising reupholstering services- the gorgeous, uneasy line put a smile on our face and a blog in our heads.

Stream of Consciousness...Hard Lines
Aesthetic associations are based on numerous physical characteristics--color, material, form, location (adjacency), influences, etc. When we sat down to create this blog, we looked at the Byrdcliffe Arts Colony which led us to the hard lines of the Arts and Crafts Movement, then to early Lucian Freud paintings. His palette and flat rendering reminded us of the furniture of Roy McMakin (of whom we've been a fan for years.) This is how and when our "Stream of Consciousness Week" ends...with an explanation of the thought process and a result quite divorced from our original idea. Welcome to the minds of Hunters and Gatherers at Home:
