Jumping into the Current The happiest days of my life were lived on little sleep and less money, in the painting studios of the San Francisco Art Institute: "The drainage system was literally medieval. The sinks opened directly into an open channel on the floor, which became clogged with clay by the fifth week of classes, squelched when stepped on and stank like New Orleans. There was no money for janitorial service; the studios were only cleaned between semesters, when they painted over the accumulated gunk on the walls and floors, and chiseled a new drainage hole in each sink. People walking down the ramp to the sculpture studios had a bird’s-eye view of the entire area, which gave the sculpture students agoraphobia. It was like working in a minimum-security prison."--excerpt from Practical Sanctuary blog, link in comments It is now my professional mission to mitigate these kinds of sensory and emotional horrors. So how can this be? It's about the community. Shared studios create joy. When you pursue your vision alongside other passionate people, it's like jumping into a fast-moving river; the current bears you along. All you have to do is float. Even before the pandemic sent all of us into quarantine, most of us were far too isolated. We couldn't wander next door for a cigarette and a deep conversation about aesthetics; we were too busy struggling to pay our outsized bills on undersized lives, virtually alone. Purpose has little meaning unless it's shared. Why declutter your closets, reorganize your kitchen, rethink your living room, if there's nobody there to share the struggle, the insight, the pain and the joy? Might as well binge Netflix. Where is community lacking in your life? Can you remember times when you were immersed in it? What's the difference? #community #interiordesign #sensoryinteriordesign ----------------- Hi! I'm Stephanie Lee Jackson, founder of Practical Sanctuary, Sensory Interior Design.

Outline rewards designing outside the box. The Outline column light expertly takes on multiple roles as a pedestrian light, an artful wayfinding element, and an elegant architectural detail. It elevates its category in terms of performance and design potential — defining space throughout parks and plazas, lighting the way along walking paths, and transforming into sculptural clusters of illuminated art.
