It is to forget ourselves in these moments. Life is delivering exactly what we need, whether we realize it at the time or not. We may stop wanting. The things that compose us are distributed across the shadows of these moments, where we sink into a field of grass, float up into the sky from a mountain top, or fly off in a breeze with the scent of honeysuckle. We evaporate, dissipate, and spread ourselves across a hundred different times where there was a space made for us to fall into. We were in a place and time that can hold us and only us, so we leave a tiny piece of ourselves in each one of these memories. We are split, then distributed, reaching beyond like the seeds of a dandelion being swept away by the wind. We disappear into these moments of accommodation: all true to the touch, each bit illuminated, all things made light.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://blog.frankchimero.com/post/14129726648">Read More</a></p> </blockquote> <p>from <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://blog.frankchimero.com/post/14129726648">viafrank</a></p>http://blog.astillwell.com/post/14159620999http://blog.astillwell.com/post/14159620999Tue, 13 Dec 2011 01:01:28 -0700<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player_black.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/14146009913/tumblr_lw4dqyqbNX1qzpq6j&color=FFFFFF&logo=soundcloud" height="27" width="207" quality="best" wmode="opaque"></embed><br/><br/><p>Sofija by Jesse Ruins … low-fi in the best way it knows how</p>http://blog.astillwell.com/post/14146009913http://blog.astillwell.com/post/14146009913Mon, 12 Dec 2011 19:04:10 -0700<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvv58lIGhE1qzpq6jo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvv58lIGhE1qzpq6jo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>2000 feet of yarn. 300 nails. 24 feet of lattuce. 7 hours. 1 wall. </p>http://blog.astillwell.com/post/13902081665http://blog.astillwell.com/post/13902081665Wed, 07 Dec 2011 19:21:56 -0700<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/33099127" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>I made a time lapse of me creating a piece for my wall. </p>http://blog.astillwell.com/post/13722075814http://blog.astillwell.com/post/13722075814Sun, 04 Dec 2011 02:51:55 -0700<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvnixdkRKw1qzpq6jo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My attempt at abstract</p>http://blog.astillwell.com/post/13700427463http://blog.astillwell.com/post/13700427463Sat, 03 Dec 2011 16:36:00 -0700<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player_black.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/13558191910/tumblr_lvhsfvO7E51qzpq6j&color=FFFFFF&logo=soundcloud" height="27" width="207" quality="best" wmode="opaque"></embed><br/><br/><p>No One Does It Like You - Department of Eagles … just like grizzly bear, seeing it has some of the same personnel.</p>http://blog.astillwell.com/post/13558191910http://blog.astillwell.com/post/13558191910Wed, 30 Nov 2011 14:16:43 -0700<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player_black.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/13470517236/tumblr_lvdm0nUGGL1qz5gji&color=FFFFFF&logo=soundcloud" height="27" width="207" quality="best" wmode="opaque"></embed><br/><br/><p><br/>Origins - Tennis</p>http://blog.astillwell.com/post/13470517236http://blog.astillwell.com/post/13470517236Mon, 28 Nov 2011 15:46:00 -0700
