“What is the God particle in us if not the bolt of being alive?
Poetic logic accesses it better for me than other forms.”

Like snow on a television screen, it seemed like the snow coming down from the sky was some sort of reverse rapture in which the world was being heaped upon with the nothingness of being, like a snow apocalypse. And then it's just you, a self alone even amid multitudinous connections, another kind of nativity.

This image is from the residential page of Ilse Crawford's design website, Studioilse. If I were a room, this is the room I would be: filled with light and shades of green and books and treasures. And a hammock. Crawford's work and philosophy is featured in the eighth installment of Netflix's new series, Abstract: The Story of Design, the first exposure I've had to this artist whose approach to design inverts the poetic logic of the Old English term for the body, the bānhūs (“the body, the chest, breast”, literally “the bone-house”). Her spaces are meant to imbue the sensual body with well-being, with nourishment. And at the heart of her creative process is her studio's "materials library," a catalog of textiles and stone, skins and colors, where objects are brought in relation to each other. I couldn't help but think of an externalized creative process model that emphasizes curatorial judgement (which requires access) and a facility with stringing words together to form constellations with Calderesque proportions.
