Meet Gemgrl


It has taken some time to get to the point to start writing about all the various themes related to inspired living in the home and all related topics. This area of humanity related to living in space and among objects is a vast curiosity for me and has become a bit of an all consuming consideration at times. Only a few close to me would know that I view personal belongings and their place in our lives as storyboards with unending tales to tell. I am inspired daily by objects and their place in my life. Indeed, anyone I meet in my day is perceived specifically by their context: what is present, what is not and the sensations/perceptions created by the dynamics of the two. This natural approach, in my estimation, is common to all humans. I just happen to talk and write about it.

Inspired Home: The Beginning

Comes a time in life when all kinds of experiences shuffle into a life theme that begins to express itself over and over. That theme for me is Home and all that is related to it: Design, Architecture, Art, Spirituality, Health, Friends, Family, etc. Home is the mirrored seat of the Self. Look around yours and, to the careful witness, a story unfolds much like reading an autobiography.

Humans are highly symbolic creatures and so much is known about one another without words. Objects become a dialogue among one another and with you and those in your home. The languages are as complex as Chinese and as beautiful as a mathematical equation and they run deep and wide in the fabric of every living person.



There are people who read a Rothko and a Picasso in just a glance. In this way, I read a home.
