STILLS of this moving light sculpture - approximately 40,000 computer programmed LED nodes run through a 200 foot long channel. "The programming both instructs the lights and allows for an element of chance, so that it is very unlikely that any pattern will repeat during a viewer's experience."

Temple by David Best
I wasn't originally going to share, as I'm not necessarily proud of how these photos came out. Most importantly, this was a highly submersive experience. If you're any kind of reflective or contemplative person, this exhibit will truly move you, so be very open to the experience!
Built by David Best, a world renowned American sculptor, responsible for building these temple structures out of recycled wood materials for Burning Man, in which they are burnt to the ground at the end of the festival!
The Last of The Winter Fountains
Enjoying one of four large fiberglass domes glow with Jennifer Steinkamp’s dream-like animated video projections before they are taken off of view this week!
PHS Flower Show
Ah, yes. How do you know that springtime is right around the corner? Because the Philadelphia Flower Show is on blossom at the convention center! This years theme was "Wonders of Water", celebrating and exploring the beauty and life-sustaining interplay of horticulture and water. Some of my favorite parts of the show included the juried competitions - especially the one where competitors created a flower display inspired by a painting (see below!) I also enjoyed the live flower competitions too!
Lady Dog Lizard
I seemed to have found my spirit in a painting. Something about the patterns, collage elements and use of color really speaks to my soul! Featured above, "Lady Dog Lizard" by James Rosenquist.

In The City
I live in a more "suburban, urban" area and I forget how much of a city girl I am at heart. Yesterday's quick run downtown has inspired me to get out and explore on a whim a bit more. After riding around for just a short period of time, I scouted so many locations that would be great for photo ops! Can't wait to get out and draft a SS17/18 location scout list!
Botanic Interlude
In the spirit of Nothing is Ordinary, and as demonstrated above, a photo "opp" is liable to occur anytime, anyplace. With the curtain draped like so behind the palms and foliage, this botanical garden shed is obviously an ideal background for an impromptu photo session.

"Big Bling"
Look at the Big Bling! By artist Martin Puryear, presented by the Association for Public Art. If you commute through Philly, I know you've seen this enormous structure on Kelly Drive. I went to see it up-close literally on its last day of being on view - Better late than never!
Apple Picking at Linvilla
in Explore, Rendezvous, Style
It's a little late in the apple picking season, but thats okay! Certain apple flavors are still in harvest, we just had to walk out a little further into the orchard to get to them. The weather was beautiful and the day was perfect! Finished off here with some shopping in the farmers market and some apple cider donuts!
Future of Sports - Pink Neon Room
Future of Sports is a pop-up art installation in DC. It's an interactive exhibition that combines art and sports. Located on H street, (only a few blocks from my childhood home!). Worth a visit or 2.
Terminal
Subodh Gupta's sculpture "Terminal" makes it well worth a trip to the newly re-opened Freer/Sackler galleries in DC.
"Internationally acclaimed artist Subodh Gupta transforms familiar household objects, such as stainless steel and brass vessels often found in India, into wondrous structures. The Freer|Sackler features the artist’s monumental installation Terminal. Composed of towers of brass containers connected by an intricate web of thread, Terminal converts the readymade into a glimmering landscape. Ranging from one to fifteen feet tall, the spires recall architectural features found on religious structures such as churches, temples, and mosques"
Mental Note
Looking through old files and I found this old picture of me floating in a pool on a hot day. I would like to hereby declare this photo a mood, a sentiment, a mental state.
Girls Night Out
Night views at my favorite rooftop...one of the last rooftop nights before the winter season really sets in! Also, just happened to be watching the parkway from this #vantagepoint, during the final showings of Fireflies, a visual installation by artist, Cai Guo-Qiang, commissioned by the Association for Public Art with Fung Collaboratives.
