In search of identity...

I am in search of an identity that I can call my own. I love Merimekko and Kandinsky. I LOVE modern art and modern Scandinavian design.

I think living in Toronto and looking at Veljo Revell's testament to modern architecture did it to me even at a very young age. I always loved our city hall. I remember my mother telling me when I was a kid that the man who designed it was very famous and died before it was completed and never saw his master piece. How can it be, that one of the very best examples of modern Scandinavian architecture is in Canada? And that its been used in movies in scenes from the future? Its 40 years old this year and the very square in front of it that defines it is about to undergo renovations. Agh, the atrocity.

Somehow, I need to take this love of modern art and design and make it mine and define myself from it. And do it all in a single word. A word I can use in search words on ebay. Simple? No WAY!
