“This body of work speaks to simplicity,  the inherent beauty of the materials…” Megan Klim

In preparation for an international move in 2018, we are downsizing to a one bedroom apartment (approx. 450 sq. ft) from a 2 bedroom cabin (850 sq. ft.).  As we purge, I find that I make decisions on whether things stay or go based on their usefulness, simplicity & aesthetic, in that order.  The simple beauty of the work of today’s Artist of the Day, Megan Klim speaks to me.  It is a beautiful calm.

Find a calm space with the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Megan Klim!

ARTIST of the DAY: Laird Bindrim

simply BEAUTIFUL

Minimalism has so many faces. Some would have you believe it to be stark and cold and gray.  I find it comforting.  I disagree that minimalism must always be bare.  Even intricate design can be simple and clean and appreciable for their design.   Today’s Artist of the Day, Laird Bindrim, shows such beautiful restraint. Such beauty in simply waiting for the unfolding.

“Photography as a medium is immediate. The “taking” of a photograph is measured in fractions of a second.  An art form, that has the unique ability to show us a singular moment.  In this image, the person talking on the phone, my good friend, is calling home to his mother to let her know he’s arrived safely.  Albeit, three thousand miles away from her.  This was the view from the car where I waited and watched patiently as he consoled her.” Laird Bindrim
