Anyone familiar with my facebook or Instagram accounts would see these recent photos I've put up. I just started doing it for fun but I've realised that there was a reason I wasn't aware of at the beginning. I see now that it was something almost difficult to express, somewhat nuanced for me. I have always seen these studies as small souvenirs in a way that ahas been hard to write about. By putting them in these little 'mise-en-scenes', I am declaring to the world that these are just 'part of the woodwork' of everyday life, as it were.
They are 'nothing special', an apt title of a favourite book of mine by Charlotte Jono Beck, and they are just reminders that the ocean is ever-present no matter where one lives, even Utah. They are postcards, souvenirs of a moment in time to remind us of this.
They repose standing up in the kitchen as well as on the bookshelves and once in place, they are domesticated already like small dogs in one's living room.
Enjoy!
