Surging vinyl-record sales (3.9 million units sold in 2011 according to the Nielsen Company, a whopping 36-percent increase from 2010) have not only helped sustain a bounty of record stores in the Twin Cities, they’ve also provided an opportunity for a pair of local 20-somethings to work their dream jobs: unearthing musical relics for a new generation of wax fetishists to enjoy.

To begin to design with honest, simple materials made beautiful by imagination is a thrilling new proposition: We question our tzarist impulses to have the most expensive countertops, floors, chandeliers and furniture; we build and design with thought and gentleness—not ostentation. We stop the madness.

Even as a little kid, I just didn’t have the DNA of someone who would enjoy living in the traditional norms that expected a little girl to grow up and be a wife and a mom and a homemaker. In the 1960s, that was kind of the deal. I wasn’t a rebel or anything—it was literally that I saw other things that seemed fun. But I kept hitting roadblocks, either trying to be an altar boy or people assuming I should be a mother. I was just dammed if I was going to let them get in the way and have a life that was going to stifling me just because it made someone else’s life easier.

The painting, “The Clearing,”is about the effects of climate change and a warming planet on normally cold places. This boy depicted is on a journey. He is moving through this landscape I’ve made for him (he has a backpack and a watch—remnants form his former life before he got to this place). He stands firmly and watches us (albeit without hard features, so he may not be “looking” directly at the viewer but rather, interpreting the world through other senses as well), as if to state that he is a witness to these unexpected and dangerous changes. In my mind, he’ll adapt because he has to—his feet are already changing color ”melting” into the water below him. And he is becoming more and more a part of his landscape through the shared color palette.
