So beautiful.  http://www.etsy.com/shop/ocpottery fromasecondstory: I’ve never let go of the notion of a self-created utopic place.Growing up in the countryside of New England, I was constantly surrounded by nostalgia and myth, by mountains and oceans; all of these things were at the backdrop of my childhood. As a child, everything I would view was an exaggerated form of reality. There I could play God, and create new lives for myself and the people around me. Childhood exists to me now as an abandoned alternate reality. In this small utopian world, lives characters we created that will never die. What we recall are the mythological people and places, conceived out of nothing but childlike imagination. Sometimes the most important thing is to remember ourselves the way we used to be, to remember ourselves as kids. - To remember our Kids.

Ruscha’s books paid tribute to and slyly parodied the romantic vision of the road epitomized by writers and artists such as Jack Kerouac and Robert Frank, while also subverting the rapidly expanding market for what the artist described as “limited edition, individual, hand processed photos.” In Royal Road Test, Ruscha painstakingly documented himself dropping a vintage typewriter from a speeding Buick.] [via]
