Blood and Skin

Hers is the face I see when a certain mood moves in. She's moving through me even now. My lady of the various sorrows. 

~ Nick Cave

Shapes in Space

I love architecture, that's no secret. But more than the objects themselves (beautiful though they are), it's the negative space ie: the space and shapes around the objects that I love to enjoy most. 

And where space and form meet? It is as though a kiss. 

"How did it happen that their lips came together?... A kiss and all was said."

~ Victor Hugo

The Company of Wolves

“When I saw him look at me with lust, I dropped my eyes but, in glancing away from him, I caught sight of myself in the mirror. And I saw myself, suddenly, as he saw me, my pale face, the way the muscles in my neck stuck out like thin wire. I saw how much that cruel necklace became me. And, for the first time in my innocent and confined life, I sensed in myself a potentiality for corruption that took my breath away.” 

~Angela Carter, The Bloody Chamber
