This week's mix is slower than the last. A more pensive, expectant feel for spring sunshine, featuring Patrick Wolf, Chet Baker, and 16 Horsepower, among others.
"Such is our way of thinking—we find beauty not in the in the thing itself but in the patterns of shadows, the light and the darkness, the one thing against another creates." - Tanizaki

Under this weather such shadows are blossoming; Beili Liu.

These Wind Drawings by Chinese-born Texas-based Beili Liu, created with sumi ink on birch panels, have me enraptured.
I believe an aerophyte is actually a plant which derives life force from the wind & rain. Alongside these images, for some reason I pictured them as some sort of mythological wind spirit.
These beautiful works also brought to mind a song by Patrick Wolf, titled This Weather - the title is taken from the lyrics.
I feel the song below is also fitting - in terms of sentiment, but even somehow through his movement. His slightly torturous twists seem to echo Liu's slowly spreading dark ink.
