Furniture Robby Cuthbert Design

"Every piece of furniture in this gallery represents an exploration of how tension and opposing forces can be used to create a stable system. With wood and steel cable as the primary materials, each work combines different shapes with different cabling patterns to arrive at a carefully balanced, sturdy state. Some of the designs in this is gallery have gone on to be mass-produced, while others were one-off experiments."

Wildflowering L.A. is a native wildflower seed planting initiative throughout Los Angeles County beginning in October 2013 by artist Fritz Haeg.  Wildflowering L.A. brings a wild and beautiful seasonal native landscape to open plots of land throughout Los Angeles County. 50 sites are selected from an open call based on public visibility and distribution across the county. Owners of selected sites are given free native wildflower seed mixes at workshops in partnership with The Theodore Payne Foundation for Wildflowers & Native Plants. Soil preparation, seeding, and wildflower tending is demonstrated and one of four custom wildflower seed mixes is prescribed—Coastal, Flatlands, Hillside, and Roadside—inspired by Reyner Banham’s 1971 book Los Angeles: The Architecture of Four Ecologies. Each of the participating sites is officially identified with a prominent carved wood sign. The project culminates with an exhibition in Los Angeles in spring 2014. "Age-defying thirsty landscapes of clipped evergreen shrubbery and lawns cover this city that supposedly has no seasons, no sense of time, combined with a denial of death and aging. However, the story of the native wildflowers of Los Angeles is more complex, nuanced, localized, and ever-changing. Long-anticipated early winter rains germinate seeds that have been lying in wait, buried in dry soils from the low coasts to the high deserts, from the valley flats to the mountain slopes. Gradual growth with cool temperatures and low sun through winter months give way to an early spring explosion of bright green and rainbow color. The story of the seasons is told by the timing and extent of the bloom in direct proportion to the rainfall, temperatures, and climate. The plants turn a crisp golden brown as the dry summer months return, and the flowers prepare to broadcast their seeds for next year’s story." –Fritz Haeg

This is Monardella macrantha ‘Marian Sampson.’ It’s a mat forming plant from the mint family that loves it hot & dry.

True Americans

I love true Americans.

True Americans love guns.

True Americans buy rifles

for their daughters and their sons.  

I love true Americans

who’ll shoot those damn fanatics

who want to bring in gun control

for semi-automatics.

As a true American

I shall keep on spilling blood

Give up guns to protect kids?

That’s un-American, Bud.

The revolution that started in food is expanding to clothing: origins matter...New research indicates a growing consumer demand for information about how and where goods are produced.

This is from a New York Times article talking about the fair-trade movement of retail clothing. Even before reading this article, I could not pick up a piece of clothing without looking at where it was made. Keep your eye on this one, kids.
