A Candle for Dolly 🕯️

The whole world is mourning.

Under an eclipsed moon, I lit a little light for Dolly. There are nights when the veil feels a little thinner, and tonight feels like one of them.

And if Dolly doesn’t qualify as a saint, I don’t know who does.

We will always love you. 🤍

Today I’m sharing a glimpse into the remarkable world of Hilma af Klint (October 26, 1862 – October 21, 1944), a visionary Swedish artist whose abstract paintings remained largely unseen during her lifetime.

Believing her work was created for a future generation that would better understand it, she requested that it not be exhibited until at least 20 years after her death. In fact, it took decades longer before the art world truly recognized the extraordinary originality of her vision.

Whether you see her paintings as spiritual exploration, symbolic language, or simply beautiful mystery, her work reminds us that not everything is meant to be understood all at once. Some ideas wait patiently for the right moment—and the right audience.

The Crutcher House has always had a soft spot for art that invites wonder rather than certainty. I hope you enjoy this fascinating look into her creative process.

Perhaps this is one of the lessons of this season:
Finding the wisdom to recognize when a relationship, institution, dream, or story no longer has the capacity to become what we hoped it might be.
Not with bitterness.
Not with blame.
Just with clarity.
This version of Skinny Love by Birdy feels like a beautiful companion for that journey.

A moment captured by our current guests—a cinematographer and an actress, and .
The house invited them to stay and play for a while, and the energy here inspired them to begin creating a small film of their own.
Art begets art. We can’t wait to see what unfolds!

The Crutcher House is a perfect place to listen to Florence + The Machine’s new album, Everybody Scream. We are obsessed.

A serpent coils and waits with the peonies—
a quiet witness to what lingers here.
Every corner of Crutcher House remembers something,
and sometimes, it remembers you.
