Bundled herbs were tied to the painted white beams of the spare warehouse, casting shadows as the night crept in, and everyone cozied up to the dinner table. New folks interested in conversation and delicious crafted food (pumpkin tacos, slow cooked pork, and heirloom tarts). Thank you to Nathan and Julie from Kinfolk for the invitation, and for Raan & Shea Parton at Apolis for having us for the evening. <span style="color: #666666;"><i>- David</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xijIj-N9fs4"><i>"I got my headphones on and I won't hear a sound, </i></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>no it's all broke down, eyes out on the road but no one comes along."</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVNubUhigqLKkzqIKzbxnrqhagjzbwRwSAivE-XQCBav7OtOrxxchX3UbX1PVtKgnkXRRj2US92Rk37H6wRpjjFyQYgx0QQuHdgLmuODfwqcqve7gmKOTg8duaqYCZyoZ3ODwGJrBSkrw/s1600/kin+dinner+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVNubUhigqLKkzqIKzbxnrqhagjzbwRwSAivE-XQCBav7OtOrxxchX3UbX1PVtKgnkXRRj2US92Rk37H6wRpjjFyQYgx0QQuHdgLmuODfwqcqve7gmKOTg8duaqYCZyoZ3ODwGJrBSkrw/s1600/kin+dinner+2.jpg" /></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBURQVDjwk6VCKLRtvKDY3ZVeSwbFu0CIaT00UXBfnPuIoBrCtOaxYe6MJ0xTAEHH7PGe2KLdbIY-AsTI8_N89sFF-xtvn8TFgnFHxJQzbwBGStTr3aJaMR029NJAbOwBb-bwW4FlM8XA/s1600/kinfolk+dinner+apolis+los+angeles+dinner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBURQVDjwk6VCKLRtvKDY3ZVeSwbFu0CIaT00UXBfnPuIoBrCtOaxYe6MJ0xTAEHH7PGe2KLdbIY-AsTI8_N89sFF-xtvn8TFgnFHxJQzbwBGStTr3aJaMR029NJAbOwBb-bwW4FlM8XA/s1600/kinfolk+dinner+apolis+los+angeles+dinner.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZdO-EQomq6h7IXKFDzcbLFWiWyryzHO_uv8nRiFD3WF1wRIqm4sSfXYmI3ZxSPTDWCrcaudQmcn3L1aQs4Qc3tGt5JmU7X92o3pPNsVU0JVtvYvc2ibnPHG1ex9A3-cKlk99mSK9SZoI/s1600/kinfolk+dinner+apolis+los+angeles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZdO-EQomq6h7IXKFDzcbLFWiWyryzHO_uv8nRiFD3WF1wRIqm4sSfXYmI3ZxSPTDWCrcaudQmcn3L1aQs4Qc3tGt5JmU7X92o3pPNsVU0JVtvYvc2ibnPHG1ex9A3-cKlk99mSK9SZoI/s1600/kinfolk+dinner+apolis+los+angeles.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6LPMGKssILv_yBy_iZJXhG8rE3Zltd6c1yyE8DGMEG7mcumm6oYzOHHzCY-4pd6pDFUk5hA7_rsJP_SRVfmDij2iDG2NHFHTrLfEDjAtxI5urGZXM1XRKrFFVNiJroijSl8g02pTIbpY/s1600/KINFOLK+DINNER+016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6LPMGKssILv_yBy_iZJXhG8rE3Zltd6c1yyE8DGMEG7mcumm6oYzOHHzCY-4pd6pDFUk5hA7_rsJP_SRVfmDij2iDG2NHFHTrLfEDjAtxI5urGZXM1XRKrFFVNiJroijSl8g02pTIbpY/s1600/KINFOLK+DINNER+016.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6fvVaqLLmjXGR-HP3m981bGHoVtniP8CB16XXcA52RtmCrwS2fJRbooUT6b4_ER1RgcFOqH0Jt1FsvfcodzILINsPf-7OmU5Vsbv1vVUaTwcwOpamOfsh0yHvy7h05ECXyXyMUN9STJE/s1600/KINFOLK+DINNER+007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6fvVaqLLmjXGR-HP3m981bGHoVtniP8CB16XXcA52RtmCrwS2fJRbooUT6b4_ER1RgcFOqH0Jt1FsvfcodzILINsPf-7OmU5Vsbv1vVUaTwcwOpamOfsh0yHvy7h05ECXyXyMUN9STJE/s1600/KINFOLK+DINNER+007.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.kinfolkmag.com/"><i><b>go to Kinfolk Magazine here...</b></i></a><br /><br />"Kinfolk is a growing community of artists with a shared interest in small gatherings.

Cutting out pieces of sky to hang on the wall, I thought, how could I do that?” Born in London in 1966 Miller grew up in the family silver trade. <br /><br />Surrounded by English craftsmen he learned not only how to work with precious materials, but a skillful approach to making beautiful objects. In 1987 he graduated with a degree in fine art. He ran a successful London design business creating objects and interiors. In 2002, compelled by a desire to spend time in a rural landscape, he set up a studio in a remote part of Italy where he makes his work alone."<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxhYipkvA30s_a_7RS91MGuzTfpnUHvygQat3pi7kLcsXfHDC8MEQF6tYvrBJT3SkC9ZbNYdY34KX-AOdgrTo7EY4nbSpy3yY2Io2a725bh_AEWPf5gKegu0tte3nHXD-f1modXAFwXL0/s1600/7941_1348182678_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxhYipkvA30s_a_7RS91MGuzTfpnUHvygQat3pi7kLcsXfHDC8MEQF6tYvrBJT3SkC9ZbNYdY34KX-AOdgrTo7EY4nbSpy3yY2Io2a725bh_AEWPf5gKegu0tte3nHXD-f1modXAFwXL0/s1600/7941_1348182678_3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://youhavebeenheresometime.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/non-conversation-with-sam-orlando.html">read a (non)conversation with </a><br />Sam Orlando Miller on YHBHS here.<br /><br /><br />"But the main thing in my mind really was to create something the opposite of the drawing, the reverse, <span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">that did not absorb light and that gave energy and balance to the room. </span></span>I wasn’t for a moment thinking about making something you could look at yourself in.
