Catching sun-beams. Moving from a studio not only bathing in light but drowning in its heat to my new one where the sun teases with speckled glass and light warmth.
~~ One of my silliest studio moments since moving into the residency at Acme was getting new prescription glasses and realising that the surface Id been trying to nail down for months with seemingly no end, was already present.

“I spent several days watching for some sort of movement opposite but there was none, and I finally took to undressing quite freely before my open window…”
White Rabbits by Leonora Carrington, a short story i reread so often. It starts with a window facing a street called Pest Street
