Best of gallery walls


buying art = fun. bringing art home and trying to figure out where on your walls to put more art = sometimes not so fun. i’ve been totally inspired by these sneak peek homes to reexamine the art on my own walls. i love the displays that combine art with objects. and the thematic displays like nicolette’s cloud wall (below) definitely resonate with me. i’m feeling inspired to dig through my closet, pull out some unframed art and get hanging! -amy a.

I also love his eerie Venice images... {All images copyright  Rob Gardiner }

yên ổn ?

giờ thì mình lại thấy bất yên ổn trong cái thế giới quá nhỏ bé của chính mình. buổi sáng thức dậy sẽ là những câu hỏi như: " chà ngay hôm nay làm gì nhỉ ? " và " ngày hôm nay sẽ như thế nào nhỉ ". nhưng rốt cuộc thì vẫn là những khoảng trống yên lặng chảy dài theo dòng thời gian. chẳng hạn có một dòng sông nhỏ, chảy về một cái hồ tròn trong vắt và lấp lánh ánh sáng mặt trời. thì mình sẽ trôi về từ đầu nguồn vậy. đầu tiên mình sẽ làm một cái thúng lớn bằng cao su. sau đó sơn lên màu xám nhạt nhờ nhờ. rồi đặt bên cạnh một cái radio hạng hai rẻ tiền phát liên tục một cái đài nào đó không rõ. chỉ nghe thấy tiếng ồn ào của những người nói và tiếng rè rè mè nheo phát theo một nhịp điệu dúc dắc liên tục nào đó không rõ. cứ vậy đi. rồi ta sẽ kiếm một cái gối, một cái chăn nếu trời lạnh. còn gì nữa nhỉ, chẳng rõ. và mình sẽ đặt mình vào lòng thúng. trôi nhẹ theo chiều dài con sông. trôi đi mãi. đến khi hắn chạm vào bờ hồ tròng trong vắt ấy. hắn dội lại và lập lừng lắc lư ...
