As described in Jack Lowery’s new reserve, “It Was Vulgar & It Was Attractive,” wheat paste was a thing like a holy compound for activists, enabling the circulation of their righteously angry artwork.

For a cleaner Chesapeake Bay, start with the maintenance crew | Pollution & Solutions
It all begins with a single, innocuous raindrop. Instead of splattering onto soil and oozing into the ground, as it would have done a half-millennium ago, the droplet lands on a roof, road or parking lot. From there, it zips along one hard surface to another. Until this tiny traveler finds a larger body of water — a ditch, a creek, the Potomac River — it is fair game for any pollutant that wants to tag along. Landscape architect Kelley Oklesson, kneeling, confers with (standing, left to right) Maureen Robinson of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers, neighborhood activist and gardener Jean Lee Cole and landscape architect Maya Mule during…

How the pandemic is changing home design
Reid Collier and son Rye in the studio in the Richmond family’s backyard. (Jay Paul/For The Washington Post ) For two years, life turned inward, and living spaces responded Reid and Heather Collier love their home. Located in Richmond’s historic Museum District, the 2,024-square-foot Victorian was a sanctuary during the pandemic. The couple strung up a hammock under the shade of the big magnolia in the backyard, where the family enjoyed picnics and their son played in the sandbox. As the pandemic wore on, though, the Colliers didn’t particularly like their house. They couldn’t stop seeing all the things that needed attention: paint colors they didn’t like, a lack of…

Do You Understand the Place? — Landscaping Twin Peaks
Landscapes are key to understanding our body-minds and by extension our Twin Peaks. The show employs familiar landforms that deeply resonate with our collective unconscious, and whose “coordinates” direct important events in the series. For example, clues lead Cooper to Owl Cave—a chamber protecting “coordinates” to a circular pit surrounded by trees deep in the heart of Glastonbury Grove. Other coordinates lead to another pit marked by a single sycamore tree—an extraction point to the Fireman’s Fortress. Others lead to a deadly boulder—a target for the arrow of an entire plotline. It turns out archetypal and real-life doppelgängers of these landforms direct the events of major religions as well. Let’s…
