Aesthetic Outbursts














In the movie
Searching for the Wrong-eyed Jesus, two British documentary filmmakers are led on a tour of the American south by Jim White. The soundtrack, some of which is Mr. White's southern Goth, is haunting.

In one scene, Mr. White describes a tree he'd seen that had been decorated with, literally, hundreds of milk of magnesia bottles. He called it an "aesthetic outburst."

While this DIY applesauce maker doesn't strictly qualify as such an outburst, it comes damn close.
This makes me wish I had a LOT more free time.
