Louis Nevelson’s sculpture at st. louis Art museum

This sculpture is in SLAM’s permanent collection and they recently put it on display after a long time in storage She’s my favorite artist, and you can look at this piece for an hour and it keeps feeling fresh, like you never get to the bottom of understanding it. I like her work (and this piece in particular) because it’s emotionally rich. To me it embodies paradoxes like being both playful and somber, lively and elegiac, busy but unified, individual but collective, primal but contemporary, geometric and organic, abstract yet figurative, dissonant and harmonious, pattern and noise, cheeky and serious, quiet and commanding. Go spend some time with her.

ok so i have several

- Eugène Delacroix, Apollo Slaying the Serpent Python: I could stay in this gallery for hours and just stare at the ceiling if that was socially acceptable - Michaelangelo, Sistine Chapel: You know her, you love her! Especially when it’s summer and you’re absolutely in need of fresh are and so you round the corner to see this diva!! la vita è bella - Sandro Botticelli, The Birth of Venus: I love the pastels in this so much and the way the hair flows and the shell and just 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 I will laugh every time this is emulated in media!!! - Kehinde Wiley, Philip the Fair: I saw this at a museum when I was a mess emotionally and it was so beautiful and vast and gorgeous that I teared up! - Pierre Auguste Cot, The Storm: This is for the yearning and when I see it I’ll year again every time without fail - Hans Holbein the Younger, The Ambassadors: I love these two freaks and the fun little sneaky third guy!! I learned about this in a history class that I ended up despising bc my brain doesn’t work to memorize dates are u kidding me!! I remember all the paintings and this one was always such a fixture for me - Artemisia Gentileschi, Judith and Her Maidservant: it’s definitely the theater adult in me that lives and loves Baroque but with that in mind - the lighting in this is so powerful

GOing for a walk is kind of like scrolling in real life

This was a truly horrid thought I had the other day when I was walking over the river while marveling at the water, the city lights, cars, and people. Scrolling and walking do have similarities and realizing this was valuable to me. Scrolling simulates visual stimuli moving across our field of vision as we navigate a digital landscape. Taking a walk outside, making dinner, talking to a friend in person, or even just wandering around my apartment have all worked to minimize scrolling urges for me. They all also tend to involve the movement of my visual field with constant new stimuli. Its also important to note that none of these tasks require intensive demands to focus attention. If I want to doom scroll I probably want to relax my brain from concentrated attention while engaging in a repetitive task. Just walking around my apartment is better than scrolling and often more realistic than reading. Finding ways to relax and procrastinate without using screens may seem counter-intuitive but I think it gives me more freedom. Plus I have never regretted going on a walk.

The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales
