Kicking off a new weekly sub-series called Studio Thoughts where I (your host, visual artist Kimmy Noonen) invite you into real time thoughts about my life and practice. This week I share my current pile of partially read books and explore a through-line that runs through them all. Check out my work at kimmynotkim.com and follow the process on Instagram @kimmynotkim. Welcome to the studio!
