Stucco Aperiodical Issue 1: Volume 1

This month has been a weird one in Stockholm. They have a saying here — “April Weather” — which means unpredictiable, wild variations, constantly changing. We’re far enough from the Spring Equinox that the days are long and bright, but the cold is still with us. The trees are just budding, each day slightly larger, but the leaves still hidden, waiting. A couple days of snow, a couple days of warm sun. April weather. Daffodils and crocus, small but bright.

The studio has gotten a lot of attention and care, laying down groundwork for our own growth. There’s a saying that a complex system can only be built by starting with a simple system, so that’s where we’re starting.
