Hello All - A recent incomer from that other place, looking for a more authentic version of this world and myself, without the judgemental opinions of 'insular' minds.
I take the world how I find it but in a world on fire we all need to be gentle on ourselves and appreciate the small joys we find

It's around this time of year I rewatch this stunning short about the photographer Alexandra de Steiguer and her time at the Oceanic Hotel, New England. A study in solitude, stillness and enduring.

A beautiful 14min video depicting the photographer, Alexandra de Steiguer, also caretaker for the Oceanic Hotel, who's spent past 19+ winters alone tending to the 43-acre grounds of the hotel, which sits 10 miles off the coast of New England.

Historian Dr Aileen Reid will be giving an online lecture on E.W. Godwin. Although his fame today rests largely on his Aesthetic Movement furniture and friendships with Oscar Wilde and J.M. Whistler, throughout his life E.W. Godwin styled himself ‘architect.' 🧵
