A "One Man's Trash..." Lookshelf
1) Who are you and where are you?
Madeline Stewart, 24 year old Australian in Brisbane.
2) What do you do for work?
I am a flight attendant, my face muscles constantly hurt from fake smiling at obnoxious, vile business folk. I am also a health promotion student working diligently toward a career where hopefully all smiles will be genuine.
3) What do you do for fun?
The usual, music festivals, house parties, road trips, painting, growing strawberries...
4) Tell me something about your bookshelves.
The bookshelf is organised in no particular order however as I'm short I put the ones I don't like (like my boyfriend's fish encyclopaedias) much further up the top. Those shelves didn't make the photo.
5) Tell me something about ONE of the books on your shelf.
The red book in the bottom left I plucked from a suburban garbage pile in Greenwich Village. I was on foot and treated it much like a flower picked passing by. As fate would have it, it was an art students watercolour journal from the 90's. It's full of amazing, provocative entries. I googled the owner and they're now the director of a rather famous art museum in New York.
