On travel.
Early on and with modest resources, my mother taught her daughters the value of a "discovery-cation" - choreographed around an inspiring hotel stay and the charm of its immediate surroundings. Serene and exploratory by design, these petite vacations punctuated the art of breathing in the details: the curve of an ancient armchair, the dignity of a neighborhood garden, the choreography of a bustling intersection.
It is a ritual that informs my approach to travel today: Fixing a lens on an inviting hotel, instinctively journeying outward at an organic pace, and inviting the possibilities in. |
On art criticism.
Surrendering to the ephemeral. Breaking wide open without falling apart. From live performances to minimalist exhibitions, art criticism layers texture and tone and emotion to describe the humble pursuit of remembrance.
Carrying a life's worth of subjectivity, both audience and artist meet in the vulnerable center, asking to be seen. |
On provisions.
The quiet nostalgia of butter-laced noodles. The seduction of a peppery cab franc. Between a timeworn recipe and a beautifully plated meal are stories of perseverance and community - nourishment and comfort at their most fundamental. History, in a whisper thin wine glass.
