Rumblings & Ramblings

Spending a lot of time alone thinking, planning, creating and just allowing myself to absorb various forms of stimulation and inspiration from around and about…

From the garden:

Children exploring the garden grounds finding new ways to interact with nature.

Sour leaf (aka garden sorrel) bouquet

Picking and tasting mei qing choi flower petals. Tastes like sweet mustard.

A series of current visual inspirations borrowed from films:

Curse of the Golden Flower

Gong Li as the fearless Empress. The opulent costumes and the textures, layers, lavishness and colours of the palace.

Flying assassins & horses

2046

Tony Leung as an emotionally unavailable bachelor in the 1960’s  Honk Kong. (sigh)

Zhang Ziyi (double sigh)

La Belle Personne

The autumn colours, sweaters, coats, scarves and wind blown hair of the young, beautiful and tortured French. L’amour qui n’est jamais consommer…

À Bout de Souffle

L’Américaine Patricia. Quel coquette! Michel! Quel voyou!

Swimming Pool

Les relations improbable entre une jeune femme et une femme plus agée.

Ludivine! <3

“I guess I have to eat my foie gras all alone”- Julie

Sting of the Dragon Master(s)

Angela Mao. Fierce and beyond awesome martial arts hero of the 1970’s. Her flashy fighting eyes. Feel the terror.
