RIP, Robert Redford. In the 1990s I spotted him in a restaurant in NYC where I was also having dinner. He had a golden, celestial glow about him; possibly his natural aura, probably just the lighting. I just remember him seeming so appropriately other-worldly. #RobertRedford

“‘Bee Dress’ (1994) by Alice Maher, in the National Museum of Ireland’s Museum of Country Life, where I visited last Sunday. “This small child or doll’s garment is constructed from honeybees, wax, cotton and wire and reflects on themes associated with feminism, mythology and childhood.”
