Behind the curiosity of home as a canvas
I’ve been in enchantment with creating thoughtful dwellings ever since I can remember. My methodology of rearranging my bedroom [and when I could manage moving things around subtely] other rooms, certain corners or shelving arrangments in my childhood home were instinctiual tools that I effortlessely applied on to the canvas of home at least twice a week.
As all houses offer memories revealing so much about the life of it’s inhabitants. My childhood household share memories of a large archieve of different room postures that I’d created unknowingly and ongoingly. Once my parents understood I had no plans to stop moving objects around, there was a shift from asking me why and not quite understanding to a blossoming of encouragment to continue a strange exploration. Soon enough, I was bringing more outside objects inside.
When contemplations of college arrived, I had my parent’s support see me through my studious days and nights at university for an interior design degree that I found success in, though the succes of arranging things had been with me long before prestige on paper. My eagerness for designing spaces kept me in movement from residential interior design projects to designing and styling sets. Film in my tweeties struck me the most. It spoke to the storyteller in me as well as the artist. There is inspired beauty and appreciation to authentically lived stories or imagined narratives given the oppurtunity to come alive in replica or in a freshly designed world to be shared in visually moving medium. Set and production design for film is the realm where I excelled in what I’d like to call my early career sequence. In 2014, precious life itself stepped in with a rather wakefully abrubt call from somewhere before time — I literally fell into a second chance at life, or what I’d like to call creation. I survived a near death accident that has powerfully evolved my entire exsistance. Though much has changed, a snapshot of my life then and now, could still be expressed as one’s curiousity of home as canvas, except this time, the interior designer within me is more focused on the interior landscape itselt. The interior design of my inner world is the most important work of art I could ever begin to try and achieve. If even achiveable, or rather a reaching towards enlightment, a softend point of power that excells my creative pursuits directly from a heart centered place. I am pleased and honored to be celebrating the 10th anniversary of this time in my life with the birth of my newest nest and dearest occasion — one of Sanctuary. Thank you for being here. I appreciate you.
