It’s been two years since the passing of dear Vivienne Isabel 🔔 Westwood ~ here are some quotes from @gene.krell & @ndreaskronthaler I shared at that time ~ 🔔 may they ring bells for you, as they have for me, for the calling of truth, love, nature and the Tao ~ 🗝️ Lao Tzu (author of the Tao Te Ching)~ “Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.” “Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.” “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” “From wonder into wonder existence opens.” “The world is won by those who let it go.”
Sea Shepherding with Alan Watts ~ “Ever since I can remember anything at all, the light, the smell, the sound, and motion of the sea have been pure magic. Even the mere intimation of its presence – gulls flying a little way inland, the quality of light in the sky beyond hills which screen it from view, the lowing of foghorns in the night. If ever I have to get away from it all, and in the words of the Chinese poet “wash all the wrongs of life from my pores,” there is simply nothing better than to climb out onto a rock, and sit for hours with nothing in sight but sea and sky. Although the rhythm of the waves beats a kind of time, it is not clock or calendar time. It has no urgency. It happens to be timeless time. I know that I am listening to a rhythm which has been just the same for millions of years, and it takes me out of a world of relentlessly ticking clocks. Clocks for some reason or other always seem to be marching, and, as with armies, marching is never to anything but doom. But in the motion of waves there is no marching rhythm. It harmonizes with our very breathing. It does not count our days. Its pulse is not in the stingy spirit of measuring, of marking out how much still remains. It is the breathing of eternity, like the God Brahma of Indian mythology inhaling and exhaling, manifesting and dissolving the worlds, forever” Alan Watts 🪼 “Can water be thirsty? Water’s iridescence is language. The seas instincts collaborate with ours to create thinking.” Etel Adnan @seashepherdstore collaborated with Portuguese brand @plus351.pt to make this organic collection to raise funds for @seashepherd Respect for everyone working to protect biodiversity and life in water ~ ⚓️🧜🏿♀️ 📸 @yvescallewaert @seashepherdstore

Andean indigenous textiles as an antidote to thoughts on ravenous consumerism; shared in a letter for a @un_ece report on textile waste flows. “When did we normalise throwing clothes away? And where does most of it end up?“ #blackfriday … “The history of craft, including textiles, has often involved women in work that can be empowering, culturally embedded, beautiful, and slow. There remains a way of making things that we can return to if we learn from the ebbs and flows of mountains, old and new.”

Joshua Oppenheimer’s post-apocalyptic musical feature – The End – takes inspiration from the complicity of fossil fuel companies in the climate catastrophe. Actor Michael Shannon, who plays an ex oil exec in the film, has partnered with @global_witness to call on the fossil fuel industry to pay for climate damage in low income countries. The oil & gas industry made $4 trillion in 2022—10 times what it costs every year to repair climate damage in low income countries. #EndTheEnd

Louise Bourgeois by Annie Leibovitz. Last night we screened the film I directed, Mother Weaver, at Hauser & Wirth in NY. The film ~ made for The Forgotten Her Story ~ tells the story of renowned art collector Ursula Hauser and delves into themes of maternal absence or presence, birth and death through the lens of the female artists that Ursula has championed throughout her life, including Bourgeois. You can watch the film (20 mins) via the link in my profile. Annie Leibovitz’s show opened tonight at Hauser & Wirth. Some other images I love from the show: Patti, Spiral Jetty, Rick, Faith, Kamala, Iceland & Susan Sontag’s stone collection. 🖤
