But I’ve landed, softly, into an apartment with light that dances through through leafy vignettes across my living room rug in the morning, and a floor that’s so slanted my friend Lucas is custom-designing shims for my credenza so the drawers don’t fall out. I started a plate wall (more on this later),
I’m also thinking about the inherent contradictions that form when you pick things up out of curiosity— without feeling the need to know why, or think about whether or not they’d be on someone’s Substack recommendation post. I don’t really go to the bookstore and buy anything without standing there and googling it first but I did before this trip, landing on Henry Miller’s The Oranges of Hieronymus Bosch and Big Sur, which found me at exactly the right place and time. Henry Miller, Dunkin Donuts coffee, and Anne Truitt don’t neatly fit into a carefully curated box or self-presentation, but maybe that’s not a problem.
In the spirit of suggestion, I built a sourcing service called On Call. Ask for help finding something via the form, and receive two options via email within 48 hours.
