“‘My Body Is a Clock’: The Private Life of Chronic Care,” a moving and arresting photo series + essay by Sara J. Winston:

Every 28 days, I point the camera toward myself to document my illness and care. I have used my time as a patient in the infusion suite, a place where I sometimes feel powerless, to reclaim my autonomy as an artist and photographer.

“A Korean American connects her past and future through photography”: A lovely first-person piece by Arin Yoon, published by NPR. Beautiful work.

Teju Cole in Words & Pictures

I loved every minute I spent with this beautiful, poetic, searching, confident book.

Gregory Crewdson:

I can still remember encountering Crewdson’s work for the first time in The New York Times Magazine more than a decade ago. Original, absorbing and haunting. Today’s “Monocle Weekly” interview with him had me heading to his website, which alerted me to this documentary. 

A Country Richer For It

I have endless gratitude for and pride in the America that welcomed refugees I would be lucky enough to get to know and love, with my wife and her parents at the top of the list.

Reblogging myself from a new microsite for Abstractions Arrive:

On a Saturday morning in July 2012, the esteemed writer and internationally collected artist spoke about the release of Abstractions Arrive: Having Been There All the Time. The video was made by Stephen Schenkenberg and recorded in Gass’ St. Louis home (which holds 15,000 books).
