Summer is in full force, and with it a leaning into abundance in all of its forms—this month’s Findings centers around the books, reference materials, and sources of inspiration that are spilling off our shelves, stacked on the table, and coming up in conversation…the things that feel like a nod to open-hearted wanderlust and creative fervor. We hope they feel like a cold glass of water on a blistering afternoon.
In Our Corner
First things first: we’re pleased to be included in this week’s T List in T Magazine: “Among those oaks, those acorns, that wind, our sheep…guests are a part of the elements that formed these wines.”
We can’t wait to welcome you to our newly-expanded property in Amity, OR; online reservations are open for July through September for seatings in the Barrel Hall, as well as our forthcoming Table in the Trees.
Sounds like Summer
What it sounds like where we are — we also invite you to stream Vol. 2 of Attuned: A Summer Playlist, curated by musician Heather Woods Broderick.
The Summer Library:
A glimpse at what we’re reading, browsing, pinning to the walls, stopping to ask, “did you happen to see….?”
(We welcome your suggestions as well—chime in in the comments if there’s something you’re generous enough to share!)
Il Dolce Far Niente: The Italian Way of Summer by Lucy Laucht
Brice Marden: These paintings are of themselves, an exhibition of paintings and works on paper, and a reflection on the “daily and seasonal shifts in natural light and color that the artist observes when working in his studio in Tivoli in upstate New York.”
An Encyclopedia of Gardening for Colored Children, a collaboration from the writer Jamaica Kincaid and illustrator Kara Walker
Room Service by Michael McGregor. File under: delighting us. An illustrated study of hotel stationery and the encounters our travels inspire.
The Modern Architecture of Cadaqués: 1955–71, an architectural journey to Cadaqués—a small fishing village on the Spanish Costa Brava that was a summer meeting ground for artists including Dalí, Picasso, Miró, and Duchamp.
Jean Cocteau: Lettres à sa Mère Book by Maison Plage
There’s Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension by Hanif Abdurraqib
Still: The Art of Noticing by Mary Jo Hoffman
Alexander Girard: Let the Sun In by Todd Oldham and Kiera Coffee
Point Break: Raymond Pettibon, Surfers and Waves by Jamie Brisick and Brian Lukacher.
“All this must be either surfed or painted”: an homage to Pettibon’s artistic observations of the surfer-as-protagonist, where the sublimity of waves coalesces with (or defies) turbulent interjections.
Wishing you the sun on your back and the horizon line in the distance — see you next month.
