Seaweed Artwork
Where do you find affordable art? One piece we love in our home is this hand-pressed seaweed print from Cornwall, England, where my aunt lives.
Two friends — Melanie Molesworth and Julia Bird — make their artwork by foraging for seaweed on beaches or in shallow water after a storm. “We love it when they’re faded and a bit sea-bashed sometimes,” Julia told Toast. “Some of the beautiful pale pink colors are very faded as they’ve been drifting about in the sea. That can make them so beautiful.”
Most of my family makes art and our house is filled with my husband’s photographs, my Dad’s photographs that he printed in his darkroom, my sister’s botanical art, my brother-in-law’s bird art and my abstracts and landscapes. It makes for a very personal collection of art and I love every piece that we have on our walls.
Once we leave school and enter the workforce, curiosity gets even less encouragement. That’s a shame, because while many institutions suffer from too much rigor, just about all of them would benefit from more curiosity.
The Weekly World News version of the future
What if someone is just making stuff up?
Years ago, I worked with the supermarket tabloid to make an ironic, shouty, somewhat funny book that has turned out to match much of the discourse we find surrounding us.
When we flew down to Florida to meet their team, I was amazed to discover that this nationwide newspaper, read by millions, was created by three people in a storage closet. They had a single filing cabinet with stock photos, and every day they went to work and invented stories about Bat Boys, UFOs and weird illnesses.
You weren’t supposed to believe this stuff, but of course, some people did.
They believed it because the medium (a newspaper) was associated with something reputable (a real newspaper). Of course, the media has changed. The number of people reading a post or following an account is not a useful indicator of whether or not the ideas within are made up or not. And yes, people are still making stuff up.
Five Pick-Me-Ups
Last weekend, Freddie and I went to see the Amy Sherald exhibit at The Whitney Museum. She paints portraits of Black Americans, both as a way to show people just being themselves and also to correct the omission of Black people in classic American portraiture. For example, this man sitting on a beam nods to the famous photo “Lunch Atop a Skyscraper,” and the painting of two men kissing (above) references the 1945 photo of a sailor kissing a woman in Times Square. They’re stunning in person, and I’d highly recommend seeing the show, if you can!
I sent my friend Alison flowers this week, and the florist, knowing the goal was to comfort, added such beautiful wispy, feathery blooms. I was touched by the idea of women helping women help women.
We talked about Guinness cake and its “damp blackness” this week, but what about mud cake? Jenny Rosenstrach added salted chocolate frosting to her recipe, and, she says, “I swear I almost cried when I tasted the result, I had forgotten how effing amazing it was, simultaneously rich and chocolatey but with a decidedly springy texture.”
Finally, I’ve been reading Keith McNally’s memoir, and I have to say, it’s a banger. The New York restaurateur is unbelievably opinionated about everything from long walks (“I’d rather hike in unspectacular countryside than in the Himalayas”) to his mother (“there was always someone she felt ‘snubbed’ by”) to everyday phrases (“I doubt that I could love anyone who uses the phrase ‘reach out to’”). It’s fun to hear him rave and rage about restaurants, family, and life. If you’re in a memoir mood, here are a bunch of others we’ve loved, too.
Pool People
Do you have clothes you’ve worn a million times? Mine include this shirt and these flats. So easy and comfy. (Here’s a steal version of the shoes.)
Status shows up whenever humans do, and it is the invisible underpinning of our culture.
The front lawn was only invented around the time of Columbus. The idea was to demonstrate that you had time and money to waste. You could take useful land and make it non-productive. You could take labor and put it to work taking care of this non-productive land with no obvious utility in return. A big front lawn, well cared for, was a sign of status and luxury.
It’s a contagious idea, and a sticky one. Many suburbs have it written into their laws.
John Green reminds us that Jay Gatsby paid to have a neighbor’s yard groomed before Daisy came over to meet him…
