So much has to coincide for a shot like this! I met @chantzandthe50s and Esti of @explorecocape on the beach, carved her name for her, and then everything magically came together. #beachcalligraphy #capetown #calligraphy #nameinsand #beachlife

Paul Klee: "An active line on a walk, moving freely, without goal. A walk for a walk's sake. The mobility agent is a point, shifting its position forward."

Here's something I don't think I've ever articulated to myself before about calligraphy: It feels nice! My deepest childhood memories are not so much of form as they are of feeling. There are other aspects that have me long-term cerebrally engaged, and those tend to dominate the foreground, but that *feeling*, the touch, goosebump response ... the way it breathes, holds and releases, bends and shivers, scratches and sighs - I think that's what has me intoxicated and addicted. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #beachcalligraphy #calligraphy #fernandes #calligraphyaddict #calligraphyfeelsnice
