i was thinking recently about my small (relatively - 85 at last count) but beloved collection of books. as physical objects they’re almost all very dear to me. i did a big purge during my last apartment move and kept only, or almost only, books with emotional significance, such as ones i received as gifts. alright, and, of course, many others that aren’t easy to find or meant a lot to me at the time of my reading them. a quick list of some of my favourite art / or art related books:
vitamin d: new perspectives in drawing (2005) - - - big anthologies like this are a great way to become familiar with new artists

emily carr, the house of all sorts (1944) - - - just a lovely personal account of the years she spent running a rooming house in vancouver. 

john berger, ways of seeing (1972) - - - one of the first art theory books i really sunk my teeth into. it was really exciting to encounter art history form a marxist perspective.

leanne shapton, Important Artifacts and Personal Property from the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris (2009) - - - i actually only read this recently, but it was incredibly impacting. a lovely project, and though deeply sad, i’m glad i read it when i did.

radical nature (2009) - - - this was another really exciting book to encounter, on different artists and architects who approach nature, landscape, and biology in their work. i covet, but do not own (which is fine) this wonderful book.

lloyd kahn, shelter (1973) - - - the ultimate back-to-the-land manual for builders. 

…there are so many others, but these are the first i think of.

this looks like the moon. it’s not, but is, fittingly, a metal launch pad scorched by rocket engine(s?) at cape canaveral. i can’t find much more on it, but it was photographed by charles stankievech, an artist i’ve mentioned before. whose work i obviously like. here’s a bizarre article about him, which details his various interests in the arctic, geographies, and space (in numerous senses of the word!).
