Benesse House Museum Outdoor Works and Park

Hijiri — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 13:00:42 +0000

Took me a bit, but this will be my last post from Naoshima. Looking back, I really loved everything and I still have to see the Art House Project and the Naoshima Bath “I heart Yu” so I’m definitely going back there…

Today, I will share some photos I took from the Museum outdoor works and Benesse House Park work — I wanted to spend a little more time! Never enough time.

George Ricky Three Squares Vertical Diagonal , 1972-82:

These were moving by the wind and you can touch them and move them around, too.

Always changing by the weather, by the people… very interesting…

Walter De Maria Seen/Unseen Known/Unknown , 2000

We saw a huge work of Walter De Maria work at the Chichu Art Museum, this seemed like a piece from the work…

Shinro Ohtake Shipyard Works: Cut Bow , 1990

Shinro Ohtake Shipyard Works: Stern with Hole , 1990

These were side by side, right by the private beach. Love the atmosphere and backdrop with the art…

When we got to the Park area, we had a nice lunch and explored a little bit inside of the Park building (wish we had more time) — on the way, we passed this beautiful wall of art, I was so drawn to it. The colors, thousands of mirror-like squares, the patterns… it was really breathtaking. I want a wall like this in my house… someday. :)

Teresita Fernández Blind Blue Landscape , 2009

George Rickey Peristyle V , 1963-95

Another work from George Rickey and these were moving by the wind as well. Very cool and soothing to look at.

and this has been used to represent Naoshima art in a lot of places so I wanted to see it in person.

Yayoi Kusama Pumpkin , 1994-2005

and here it is! Photos taken by me :)

It’s placed in a little pier itself and it looks so awesome! I don’t know why, but it feels very summer vacation to me… doesn’t it?! :)

I will be back, Naoshima!

Individual Drop Caps

I’ve been a big fan of Daily Drop Cap as I talked about it before, and now, lovely Jessica Hische has an individual letter print available at her shop! You can pick any letters from Alphabet 1 to 3 and have it on your wall :) I might have to get my H…

Happy Friday, everyone!

Daily Drop Cap

Hijiri — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:00:08 +0000

An awesome typographer and illustrator, Jessica Hische started a Daily Drop Cap (oh, soo good) and it’s been my daily visit ever since.

Yesterday, she shared us a gif animation file that shows the steps in its creation — I love that! Thank you!!

((see her steps — she decided to take out all the flourishes because it wasn’t legible as an H.))

It is filled with gorgeous initials everyday!! ((swooooooon))

FYI. :)

Street Wall Art in Brooklyn

Hijiri — Fri, 01 May 2009 14:56:53 +0000

In between my home and my letterpress studio, I see lots of cool street art, there are a few more things that I always see from the bus and wish I could get off the bus and just take pictures of, but I don’t want to wait around for another bus so haven’t been able to….

Anyway. Here are some.

Love the building, stars are just so awesome, and looks like a collage of things…

If you look closely, you see a rain drop pattern on the people’s body.

Cool spray painting. Tells lots of stories.

I like this one. I don’t know if it’s spray painting, it looks like it was a big sticker?!

Happy May 1st Friday, everyone!

Papercuts Letters

Hijiri — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 13:00:27 +0000

I’ve been a fan of papercutdiecut, it’s been always on my etsy favorites, but when I saw that they have cutout letters now, my jar dropped! HOW PRETTY!

I bought my letter H as soon as I saw it � can’t wait to receive it!

It is all cutout by hands!

sigh. so beautiful.

I wish my hands could do this! Check out more handmade cutout art work from papercutdiecut.

Pandas Chair

Oh my god. I found Pandas chair. My jar dropped!

Limited edition of 25 pieces exclusive to Moss. By the Campana brothers.

The store is unbelievable!

1 months later…

I forgot how much no time I have when working full-time.

Anyway. It’s been a month since Maia came and now that she is fully vaccinated, she can play with other dogs and she LOVES to play! She doesn’t like to be alone at all and it’s been such a challenging thing for both Maia and us… we were always coming home to a disaster every time we left her alone and this week, we both have a full-time job and I just couldn’t leave her alone for 8-10 hours so she is now going to a dog day care. She had a great time today and she is exhausted! I feel like a total mom now; wake up, take Maia outside, feed her breakfast, get ready, go to the daycare to drop her off, go to work, work away all day and then come pick her up, feed her dinner… How does all the mom in the world do this everyday?!

Sleepy Maia � she is lazy sometimes.

Just got out of her first bath at home:

At the vet’s office. She made a friend with Ziggy. She gain 1.7 pounds in 3 weeks.

Her day care center. It was raining so much today.
