A rare sight! Mina Loy, Untitled ('Surreal Scene'), ca. 1935. Gouache with collage on panel. (Photographed by me).

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”

mistakenly texted a friend about a bossa nova track and referred to the iconic bossa album as “gilbert/gubar” and there’s really no recovering from this mistake i fear…

& here is where i live and study right now in the Norwegian Arctic. profoundly grateful each & every day to live in such a gorgeous city. every day brings a new shade of astonishment.
