hello!
sorry I didn't write last week - when I don't write it means I am either (a) incapacitated or (b) on an airplane or (c) feeling uncharacteristically lazy or (d) in a remote village where there is no wifi and I have to wave my phone around at the clouds in order to tell my mother that I'm alive. last week it was (a) zombie apocalypse week, but I survived.
a few things from my world:
- two ongoing illustrated maps of berlin
- a revelation on art as a darkness-vessel
- reflections on time in 3 scales
- some elon musk TED talk inspiration
what else? I'm working on some mental spring cleaning / digital chiropractory / web-house redesign. more next week.
wishing you
warm winds &
spring dreams
xo, kening
1 | art is for dark, love is for light
I can feel the pieces of my life falling into place, like tetonic plates, forming and reforming the continents of my world. so, I’ve decided this: art is for dark, and love is for light.
2 | three scales of time
in work & in life, there are only three scales of time you need to think about.
(1) here & now — as in, today & this moment.
(2) the cyclical / rhythmic now — this week, this month.
(3) infinity — where the vision lives
3 | elon musk TED talk & future excitement
I realized today that Elon Musk is the kind of crazy that I’d like my mind to be around — (and thank you internet, for making this possible). I watched this video today (from 2017) and I’m struck and inspired by his vision of reality...
4 | ongoing illustrated map: berlin
my life is just four parks & one cemetary
it’s time to start my ongoing map of berlin. I’ve been making illustrated maps of the cities I’ve loved since I was in college, when I started a project, wandermaps, to capture the world through my eyes.
5 | ongoing illustrated map: tempelhofer feld
since moving not-moving to berlin, I’ve been walking, nearly everyday, to this airfield park. it is the most expansive place I’ve been to in a big city, where the horizon stretches out in all directions, and you feel like you could be somewhere else, anywhere else. this is the magic of an airport — it is an in between space.
thank you from the possibilities of a double yolked egg for reading my weekly digest. write me back anytime.
