I’m so glad you found my site because it led me to yours. I really like your aesthetic. Looking forward to seeing more!
Ekua, you do great and very inspiring work! Was so happy to stumble upon you today…
Carrie, for some reason your name came up in connection with Lucien Freud’s idea of “traveling downward.” Can I contact you about it? I am a writer working on a piece about Freud, travel and eating in London.
Thanks, John
Hi John,
I don’t have any connection to Lucien Freud except for a post I wrote a while back. You can read it here http://thespacesinbetween.org/2011/11/30/traveling-down-in/
I initially read the quote in an old issue of Apartamento Magazine. Hope this helps! Good Luck – C
