A letter to Emilia

Dear Emilia,

SO NICE to hear that it went well with the exam – and i must say it looks amazing!

I’m crazy about the idea of making it into a kind of summer travel journal project. And your yarn samples looks super tight (it talks to my partly autistic and perfectionistic mind, which you know way too well). Have you noticed that the picture with the yarn hanging over the pot looks like pasta with fresh kale? Maybe that’s what we should eat when i visit you in your new young and fresh home? You also HAVE to tell me more about the homemade projectors – sounds so cool!

My exam went perfectly! I had my doubts about how much a two week project would include, so i just went all in. But as the censor said: it would have been careless not to go all in. And then he compared it with having a boyfriend – and that made sense.

Do you actually know how it ended?

I made the catalogue for Reptile Youth (named Ego · a catalogue) a open source catalogue. Very briefly the concept of open source is best known from software, where you put the code to the programs out for free, and then people (with programming skills though) can rewrite it and add to it. But i guess you knew that already. I made the catalogue in different levels, so besides being open source with the inDesign file free to use, I also made a kit with paper and ways of binding the catalogue after printing it at home, and my edition of the catalogue with the use of the kit. I just love kits! The content of the catalogue ended out super great! Besides having brain damaging great pictures of the RY boys from a handful of skilled photographers – I found quotes, a TED-talk (which you by the way have to see!) and literature, both fiction and scientific.

For the fiction literature we got Lars Frost, Olga Ravn and Azadeh Ghavamrad to write a text each for the catalogue – super exciting! It’s getting late here at on the 5th floor, and i have to get up eeeaaarrllyyy to catch the train!

Kisses and love to you and your little family!
