When you counsel someone, you should appear to be reminding him of something he had forgotten, not of the light he was unable to see.

Baltasar Gracian, writer and philosopher (1601–1658)

It’s these kind of building details that give our subconscious refuge in the knowledge that another human being was here and crafted these things for our benefit. And it is this type of fractal detail that soothes the sympathetic nervous system, down-regulating stress hormones and facilitating homeostasis. Buildings shaping us after we have shaped them! . . #chicago #chicagoarchitecture #chicagoarchitect #neuroscience #detail #details #architecture #architecturaldetail #ornament #architecturalornament #marquettebuilding #terracotta #traditional #traditionalarchitecture (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq-uB8BlIrF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=faih03puusg4

The Gilded ,Nature-Inspired Porcelain Sculptures of Jennifer McCurdy

Ceramic artist   Jennifer McCurdy lives on the island of Martha’s Vineyard.  She has been working with porcelain for over thirty years. For the last few years, she has been working with structural questions. How thin can the high fire porcelain be before it collapses in the fire? How much can it be cut away and still maintain structural integrity? How can the structural form be integrated with the visual, as in nature? How can the movement of the potter’s wheel and the fire of the kiln be reflected in the finished piece, which is rock-hard and permanent?  Website
