savage states: June 2014
http://savagestates.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 9, 2014. Ann's house: emptying out. A bare rod and two wire hooks in an empty closet -. The bright orange carpeting almost spotless, still. White cotton sheets shield the emptied shelves -. Shelves once stacked with fruits in mason jars. A few boxes of board games sit on the counter -. Above the now empty cupboards in the rec room. The bar shelves where glasses and bottles had perched -. Where they had gathered when their nights were empty. The lone lamp stranded on the paneled wall -. I pre...

Monday, November 12, 2012. Rietveld-Schroder House [N.E. view]. Oil and pencil on beechwood panel [35 x 28cm]. In Utrecht has been on my must-journey-to list of architectural pilgrimages and I finally had the chance to slot it in during this trip to Holland. Anyone remotely cognizant of the history of design will have seen an image of this seminal house published somewhere in design journals and books over the years -. On a project that suited both their temperaments and talents satisfactorily. The rhyth...
