Newsletters
Anything noteworthy that’s crossed my path, my screen or my desk. Visually minded, intellectually curious, Appel is a collection of interviews I’ve hosted as Art & Architecture Editor for Five Books and occasional essays on a range of topics. The newsletter also highlights exhibits of my painting and drawing, residencies, workshops, and other studio news.
Appel takes its name from the French word for a calling, or vocation. It’s a play on the name of the Ancient world’s most celebrated painter, Apelles. Nulla dies sine linea—"Not a day without a line drawn." All of his work has vanished, yet his lineage can be traced to the art of today.
Have you got an idea for an interview or a story relating to art or architecture? I would love to hear from you.
