Coisinhas que não me importava de ter # 13

Quem vê a série Gossip Girl sabe que na quarta temporada a personagem de Serena tem um quarto na casa da Blair...
Todos os cenários da série são da designer Christina Tonkin que elegeu o amarelo como tom predominante para o quarto de Serena.

Para mim o painel de borboletas em cima da cama merece especial destaque: adoro-o!

Recentemente, soube que o painel é do artista plástico norte-americano Paul Villinski.

As borboletas são feitas de latas de alumínio ou discos de vinil e fixas com arames.
Um trabalho único e delicado que consegue agregar beleza e contemporaneidade nos ambientes em que se insere...

As the butterflies alight on the walls of my studio, they lead into an exploration of formal, painterly issues. Often, they want to gather into a certain shape, or fly off on a particular tangent, and I let them. They function both as marks in these abstract, three-dimensional “paintings,” and as actors in curious narratives. Some pieces develop a quirky, magic-realist quality, as if a strange child has trained the insects to perform some ritual dance we are not usually privy to. Finally, the butterflies operate symbolically, and I try to develop a conceptual unity between materials, process, and imagery: metamorphosing littered beer cans into flocks of butterflies mirrors the act of transformation and rebirth that butterflies symbolize across all cultures.

Butterflies seem impossible. How can these ridiculously delicate creatures, apparently blown about by the merest breath of wind, actually fly many thousands of miles to migrate? How is it that an innate, intergenerational GPS guides them year after year to the same tree? Are we more like them than we suspect, or could we be?
