A photo series by 16 year old Natalie Kucken, inspired by this quote from the book, The Lovely Bones.
and my father would take the thin cotton top sheet
and bunch it up in his hands while being careful to
keep the two corners between his thumb and forefinger.
then he would snap it out so the pale sheet would spread
out like a parachute above buckley and gently, what felt
wonderfully slowly, it would waft down and touch along
his exposed skin- his knees, his forearms, his cheeks and
chin. both air and cover somehow there in the same
space at the same time- it felt like the ultimate freedom
and protection.

what a cool concept and beautiful quote! i've never read or saw the lovely bones movie, maybe i should!
ReplyDeletei have seen "The Lovely Bones" and usually i will read a book first. but the movie captured me so this time that i have decided to definatly read the book also.
ReplyDeletethese series of photos are beautiful. so much talent at such an age=)
And you know when you actuallly DO try and lay out your sheets and doona in one fall, it feels so much fluffier and softer than laying it out flat.
this has inspired my thursday Liss, thank you!

I love photos and literature in perfect combination. that seems like an obvious thing to say but there is something so wonderful about visual representations of words, because when you read a really good book that is what happens in your head!
ReplyDeleteI love the book I have yet to see the film. I think these shots are quite beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou always manage to post the most subtle and happy notes around here! :) Lovely, once again! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely. They remind me of my husband trying to make the bed as quickly as possible before the dog figures out what he is doing.
ReplyDelete@Megan ~ hehe so I guess your dog loves getting on the bed when your making it? my dog loves a fresh made bed!
ReplyDelete@daydream lily -- oh yes, our pup loves to race under the sheets. I like to sit back and watch.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots..... Makes me want to return to my bedroom... where life is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your site. Lovely photo's. I love the light.
ReplyDeletewow, these are so great... so magical.
ReplyDeletei loved "the lovely bones", but i'm still a little afraid to see the movie.
Love the photos and the quote. I once used the same one on my blog post a while ago.

These images are blissful. Still shots are lovely, but there is something so poetic about knowing the photographer captured an instant - rather than an image. So great.
