Artist: Andy Goldsworthy

Title: Rowan Leaves Laid Around Hole

Date: 1987

Medium: Photography

Altering nature without destroying it. Finding the beautiful elements within nature and enhancing them with one another. Andy Goldsworthy is an incredible photographer, and I am absolutely in love with his work. Most of it can be found online in google searches, but there was also a documentary made on Goldsworthy called "Rivers and Tides", it's worth checking out.

This is a photograph that I found in one of many boxes of photographs that lived in my grandmother's house for years. It's been a task to unveil all of the photographs and see what's really worth keeping, but I fell in love with this photograph in particular. Unfortunately I have no idea who took it, or who is posing in it. Regardless, it is one of the greater finds in the collection.

Artist: Leszek Zebrowski

Title: Legnica Cantat 33

Most possibly made for a yearly music festival in Legnica, Poland. I am in love with polish posters, my boyfriend bought me one at the beginning of this year, and it's really great, and there are so many out there. It's incredible how dark they are, but most have some element of humor.

Romance On The Rail

Artist: Spencer Owen

Song: Romance On The Rail

Album: E.T.R. (Electric 3rd R-Word)

Year: 2005

Although I have personal ties to this musician, that doesn't demerit his incredible body of work that I was quite aware of before I actually met him. Spencer Owen is a fantastically talented musician, and although this is only one out of what must be some 300 odd tracks, it's one of my favorites, and apparently one of his.

Most of Spencer's music can be found at archive.org

Artist: El Lissitzky

This piece is apparently part of the public domain. I don't know what it is for, but I love El Lissitzky.
