Welcome to Circling.

Circling is a newsletter, archive, and event series charting the rhythms of the artist's life. Currently, Circling is inquiring into the domestic lives of artists—using snapshots as a way to tell stories of tending a home in which art can survive.

Circling is a project by Lynnette Therese Sauer and Krystiana Kosobucki-Howell, inspired by eleven years of shared conversations around routines, relationships, spirituality, embodiment, and art.

Join the conversation 💫

We (Lynnette and Krystiana) met in college in 2011, tried to launch a book club that quickly dwindled to only us, and have had a standing weekly conversation date ever since. Circling expands this dialogue with thoughtful features and reflections on shared questions about life as an artist—and you’re invited to join us.

The first 20 paid subscribers will receive a handmade art postcard! All of these art postcards have now been claimed. Thank you!
