Eva Hesse





If you are in the bay area: this evening at BAM, Eva Hesse Studio Work will be on view in conjunction with a lecture by Briony Fer (free). It will be a great opportunity to see some of her smaller experimental work. I cannot wait!!!

Guinea Pigs and Bananas

... are the two things my boyfriend hates the most, but I am quite fond of.

Cookie was my first real childhood pet, these paintings by Cornelius Völker remind me of him:








Banana ripening chart, possibly for the kitchen?

I've been tagged... 5 Daily Essentials





1. Giant Scarf (to the left of photo)
Two are pictured here, I never leave the house without one. Picked the black one up at a bazaar in Tehran, and by picked it up, I mean scoured the entire place for the perfect one.
The other, a gift from my boyfriend, the pattern looks great on either side and it incredibly warm.
2. Lipstick
Guerlain in Greta for the evening. Clever packaging by Lorenz Baumer.
For on the go daytime, Benefit Rush Hour Lipstick, a cream color for lips and cheeks.
I'm a total sucker for packaging.
3. Jewelery
I can never leave the house with at least one piece. The anchor necklace was given to me by my paternal grandma before she passed, and the turquoise ring is from my maternal grandma. Love, love, love!
4.
Notebook + Camera
These two go hand in hand. The camera (Canon Powershot S90) is my visual diary and the notebook is for jotting down all the fleeting ideas and thoughts that occur throughout the day.

5. A splash of Perfume
It's been Juliette has a Gun by Lady Vengeance this past year. A Bulgarian rose scent mixed with patchouli and vanilla, but it doesn't hit you over the head with either note.
