FRAGILITY ENDURES: JULIE HAMISKY ( @juliehamisky ) captures permanence from the ephemeral. In an era when many artworks wield their power like a bully, there are those, like the sculptures of French artist Julie Hamisky, that wield their power like a friend — inviting, companionable, alive to quiet mutual joy. Hamisky’s works breathe with us and remind us that delicacy and grace are not symptoms of weakness but, as in nature, forms of resilience. Go deeper in issue 22, link in bio.

Featured in issue 22: LISTENING TO THE SILENCE. BILL KATZ’s path to New Mexico. There are places in the world where the landscape seems to steady the mind, where the terrain feels authored rather than left behind by competing natural forces. On a mesa in northern New Mexico, far from the nearest interruption, stands the house that has become the quiet center of architectural designer Bill Katz’s life.

Featured in issue 22: THE SERVANT: JEAN-GUILLAUME MATHIAUT( @jeanguillaume_mathiaut ) is beholden to his beloved forest. Off a quiet rural lane in a small French town stands a sculptor’s residence and studio fashioned chiefly from wood and arranged with the clarity and calm of a Zen master’s teahouse. Inside, every element of the structure — the beams, joists, and wall screens — feels continuous with the objects it shelters: sculptural works that seem to radiate a vital spirit, as if animated by the same life force that stirs forest creatures, gnomes, and elves.

Featured in issue 22: SEEKING THE MEANING, FRANCES PALMER ( @francespalmer ) might just have it all figured out. Palmer lives and works at a historic home and barn, where, among other things, she tends a flotilla of raised beds within the fenced-off precincts of a disused tennis court. Beehives straddle a service line, the bees give her fresh honey and serve as pollinators. Visit at the right time of year, and you’ll be treated to a veritable fireworks display, as the dahlias, hollyhocks, and roses come into bloom. Go deeper in issue 22, link in bio.

Featured in issue 22: INSPIRATION EVERYWHERE: After artist BARKLEY L HENDRICKS unexpected death in 2017, photographer David Katzenstein and Hendricks’ wife Susan began a photographic journey through the home and studio he filled with what Susan lovingly calls “piles of inspiration.” Their collaboration became a meditation on art, love and memory. Through their recollections, we glimpse the private Hendricks: the collector, the teacher, the husband — the man whose creative abundance continues to inspire a new generation. o deeper in issue 22, link in bio.

Featured in issue 22: WELCOME TO WILLOW GLEN. A HOUSE REBORN. “The house doesn’t let you continue in the city pace of things There’s no TV. Winter means putting the fire on in the morning; summer means a dip in the stream. People see concrete and think hyper-modern, but it’s more like living in a cabin in the forest.” —Marcus Werner Hed.

Featured in issue 22: ESCAPE TO REINVENTION. When DEBORAH NEEDLEMAN @deborahneedleman stepped down from her position as editor of T: the New York Times Style Magazine, eight years ago, she did it in style. The launch party for her final edition was held at the Carlyle Hotel, with Lady Gaga, Kerry James Marshall, Zadie Smith, and photographer William Eggleston in attendance. All had been profiled in the issue, which had the theme of “The Greats.” Smith, who had recently published her novel Swing Time, even sang a few numbers with the band. Then Needleman went home… to learn how to make baskets. GO deeper in issue 22, link in bio. Words @glenn_adamson Photo @chrismottalini
