This overwhelming sense of nostalgia is problematic... its a longing that cannot be satisfied, for what you miss so deeply never existed anyhow.

Richard Learoyd

...so I am in love with the work of Richard Learoyd. A friend game me a print and I just happened to have purchased this lovely vintage frame at a local church sale...  a perfect combo!

I've had this of Jasmijn on my phone since I saw it a couple years ago at the Fraenkel Gallery. 

An image that I think is now at SFMoma...

My mom and me (when I was little) enjoying the lake.

Colette Fu

Recently purchased Papercraft: Design and Art With Paper and found Collete Fu's work. These amazing collage pops are unlike anything I've seen...


These two pieces are from a series entitled Haunted Philly. The pop up below is of Byberry State Mental Hospital. The following excerpt is from Fu's website...

"Byberry State Hospital was a federally funded health facility opened in 1912 and closed down in 1990 due to unlivable conditions and mistreatment of patients. There have been reports of screams bellowing from the basements."
