An almost perfect looking marble angel… 🪽

In 2018, the “Hermitage Amsterdam” hosted ‘Classic Beauties’, an exhibition on neoclassicism. Featuring over 60 works by 25 leading artists, it explored the influence of antiquity on 18th-century art. 😍

Until 2022 it hosted exhibitions featuring art from the “Hermitage” in Saint Petersburg but eventually, the ties with Russia were severed, due to the Russian aggression in Ukraine. By fall 2023, the museum was renamed to “H’ART Museum” ♥️ 🇺🇦 🕊️

My Seattle home is named "Tasty Toast" because the walls are various tints of brown and it's well insulated. I jokingly referred to the new place as "Cold Toast" and the name stuck. I'm leaning into the idea of designing the built environment to communicate that it's a high cold rocky perch. A place to raise one's glass to cheer a moment of quiet in a fast era.
I was tagging this topic #hermitage but now I'll use #coldToast. Filter as you see fit.

Just put in an offer on a chunk of forest in which to hermetically seal myself. If I'm going to build a retirement cabin then I better do it while I can still swing a hammer.
Anyway, my thoughts turn to what sort of uniform I should wear. Monks wear robes. Some hermits and ascetics wear rags.
For me, though... Paper jumpsuits? Woven mycelium? Time will tell.

My current idea:
- I build the camper over the Winter.
- In Spring I pack it up with tools and drive it to an empty rural chunk of land.
- I sleep in the camper while I build a small house.
- I live in that small house for 20 to 30 years (if I'm very lucky)
- I trip over a small dog, fall down some stairs, and then nature takes the wheel.
