Light is but a Dream
How many of us made shadow puppets with her hands when we were young? Most of us, I’m sure. I remember being thrilled by the shadows of rooster heads and butterflies that I could make with my hands simply using a concentrated beam of light from a desk lamp or flashlight. Italian artist Fabrizio Corneli takes the concept to a level of artistic genius. Using mathematical equations and geometry, Corneli creates perfectly-engineered vessels through which light passes to cast detailed shadows of the human form, complex patterns and scenes. In a well-lit space, the vessels look like triangular, rectangular or circular ornaments – plain and unremarkable. When the room is darkened and light is projected through the vessels, however, the life force contained within the vessels bursts onto the wall in splendid form. Below are five of his shadow projections. Visit his website to learn more.

A Spoonful of Beekman Sugar
Kristina Pines has been a Beekman Neighbor for many years which is why we were thrilled when she told us she was going to launch a new magazine (and we KNOW how much work that is!). Spoonful Mag is an independent food and lifestyle magazine that celebrates home cooking, gatherings, local artisans and the art of entertaining. The first issue of Spoonful includes a lovely article about life at Beekman Farm with accompanying photos by Jeff Foley.
Kristina chose the best photos for the premier issue (including some of Josh preparing an amazing alfredo), but she let us share some of the ones that didn’t make the final cut!

You can pick up a copy at the Spoonful online shop, and also at La Colombe Coffee Shops, Anthropologie, West Elm, Terrain at Styers and other smaller lifestyle boutiques.

Five Beautiful Things
Art on Mars
The world lost an icon this week: Mr. David Bowie passed away on Monday, January 11, leaving behind one of the most important and influential catalogs of music known to mankind. While his musical legacy is assured, it is worth noting that his artistic talents extended beyond the concert stages and recording studios of the world to a much quieter realm: the painted canvas. Bowie, who studied art in college, used painting to explore some of the darker elements of the human psyche. After moving to Switzerland in 1976, Bowie entered into what many biographers refer to as his “Berlin Era.” Inspired by German expressionism and post-modern painters, such as Frank Auerbach, David Bomberg, Francis Bacon, Francis Picabia and Marcel Duchamp, Bowie embarked on his own artistic journey, using oils and acrylics on canvas. Throughout his life, Bowie devoted time to nurture his artistic yearnings. He always kept a sketchbook with him on his concert tours and would periodically “disappear” into an art studio where he worked in a number of different mediums, including collage and sculpture. Below are five examples of his work from the “Berlin Era” – dark and brooding and otherworldly.

Winter’s Blooms
Beekman 1802 Farm is the source of inspiration for everything we create, and Spring and Summer, when the sap and the nectar are their most plentiful, seem to be the seasons when our creative juices are flowing at their mightiest.
But mothers have a way of knowing what her children need, and Ma Nature is no exception. She obviously sensed our need for Winter nourishment and created these “frost flowers” on the surface of the upper pond.
Although we’ve witnessed hoar frost on the farm many times, we were unfamiliar with frost flowers. It turns out they require a VERY specific set of criteria to “blossom” and are therefore more rare.
Frost flowers form when newly formed ice sublimates–changes directly from a solid to a gas totally bypassing the liquid stage. Initially, the water vapor formed by sublimation is the same temperature as the ice, but gets quickly cooled by the cold air. The air then becomes supersaturated with water vapor, which means the air has too water much in it. When the supersaturated air touches another ice crystal the water vapor quickly turns back into ice. This process is called nucleation, and in the case of frost flowers the process begins on little bits of ice that are sticking up out of the water . Over time, more and more crystals form on the existing frozen architecture. The crystals expand outward in spiky arms, creating these fascinating frozen flora.
Growing anything requires the right growing conditions. For the flowers to form you need the absence of wind and you need the air immediately above the water surface to be about 20 degrees cooler than the water itself

Five Beautiful Things
The Paper Pantry
It was during her time as a student at the Philadelphia College of Art that graphic artist Joanne Frances DeWald discovered her love of all things paper. After 22 years working as a graphic designer, she finally merged her love of paper with her love of baking by creating three-dimensional paper sculptures that depict food in a truly imaginative way. Her first creation was a pumpkin and it soon developed into an entire grocery bag full of paper vegetables, confections and fruits. She has released a cookbook which is fully illustrated with these paper works of art. Below are five examples. Click here to visit her website. Click here to order her book.

A Breath of Fresh Air
Did you know that the vast majority of those little bottles of soap and shampoo that you see in hotel rooms are made in China and then shipped over to the USA?
But an ever-growing list of the best hotels in America are agreeing with us that whenever you can make something in America, you can make a difference.

A Farewell to Cursive
In the premiere issue of our magazine, the Beekman 1802 Almanac, author Lisa Kogan laments the end of the pen-to-paper era
Buried deep in my closet sits a battered old box. It’s filled with childhood birthday cards, notes of condolence and congratulations, love letters from the man who would become my husband, and maybe one or two from the man who would not. There’s an apricot
chiffon pie recipe from my grandmother in that box, along with a reminder that “baking soda cleans everything.” There are also a third-grade report card forshadowing a lifetime of math issues, and a dashed-off note from an editor explaining that he was about to jump on a plane headed for Martha’s Vineyard, and would call on Monday—but his plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean that evening, and Monday never came.
There are calligraphic wedding invitations and engraved birth announcements in this box, halfwritten poems on scraps of whatever was within reach when inspiration hit, and a hastily scribbled thought that would become the basis for my last book.
Near the bottom of the box, stacked together and tied with an ancient piece of yarn, are my friend Brenda’s hilariously heartbreaking letters, from summer after summer at sleep-away camp. Brenda and I were close 45 years ago, and we’re still close today. The box also holds a yellow legalpad containing snippets of conversation from when my friend Mark lay in a hospital bed, intubated and unable to speak. “Is Roseanne on tonight?” His once precise writing was shaky, but I always managed to decipher it. “In another half hour,” I’d answer. “You look tired. Close eyes?” he’d write. And I would curl up next to him for a power nap that, if I’m being honest here, never left me feeling particularly powerful.
I stare at each piece of paper now and skim their words with my fingertip. My father’s signature was authoritative; I used to try to make my capital K look as confident as his. My mother’s writing was delicate, more subtle. As a child, my left-handed grandmother was forced to use her right hand—schools did that in those days—and her writing was atrocious as a result.
My third grade teacher’s lettering was perfection, even if her math lessons left a lot to be desired. Brenda dotted her i’s and crossed her t’s like the good girl she was raised to be. My editor wrote with fat, loopy, graceful letters—he was a graceful man. My husband, an artist, wrote in gorgeous flourishes and charming doodles; if he was trying to impress me, it more than worked. My friend Mark? His writing, like his body, was disintegrating before my eyes. AIDS was savaging beautiful young men in the early ’90s, and it killed him about five weeks after our slew of mundane exchanges.
No wonder, then, that his scrawled small talk continues to mean the world to me. I put the lid back on the beat-up box and banish it to the land of old board games, broken DVD players, macramé headbands, and half a dozen pairs of nude panty hose, which Vogue has deemed obsolete. My Wolfords are not the only things that seem to be irrelevant now.
We catch the sound bite, not the speech; we read the reviews, not the novel; we slice pre-packaged cookie dough into coins; and we gulp coffee from Styrofoam cups.
It is only an intense fear of sounding like my uncle Saul, who constantly insists that in 1958 he could’ve bought “the entire Upper West Side of Manhattan for 240 bucks,” that keeps me from going on.
Suffice it to say, I miss pay phones and gluten and the smell of Tame Creme Rinse. A tweet is not a conversation. Facebook will never replace eye contact. Email doesn’t compare to the romance of thick vanilla card stock covered in cursive.
The notes, the report cards, the recipes, the scraps and poems and promises to talk on Monday, the gossip from camp, the perseverance of a friend who died much too young, all had one thing in common—they were written in cursive.
Policy makers say kids needn’t bother to learn cursive any more than they should offer people a penny for their thoughts—as it won’t be long before pennies are also things of the past, like bumble bees and Harry Styles. But I’m going to miss cursive, because cursive is that place where art and language intersect, and because how you form your words says almost as much as the words themselves, and because handwriting tells us something about who the person holding the pen really is, and mostly because it’s beautiful.
Ever read the Declaration of Independence in a word doc? I rest my case.
We asked readers of the Almanac to send in some of their own scripted treasures. Take a look at some of our favorites…from a REAL mail bag:

Sharpen Your Skills

Last year, we were named to the Board of Trustees of the Farmers’ Museum in Cooperstown, NY. The mission of the museum is to cultivate an understanding of the rural heritage that has shaped our land, communities and American culture.
One of our favorite collections of the museum is the vast photo archive.
Plowline: Images of Rural New York is a collecting initiative. The Farmers’ Museum, with the generous support of the Gipson Family, is actively assembling original photography that documents changes in agricultural practice, rural life and farming families in New York State from the 19th century through the present.
Each week on Beekman 1802 we’ll highlight a photo from the collection that not only depicts where WE come from but where we ALL come from.
