american splendor

a trip to the heartland was just what i needed to draw me back into seeing the beauty of an american splendor. the location is findlay; the coordinates are 41N, 83W. the quaint historic town has it's very own main street and it's very own americana vibe that runs true and true.

the days were filled with -
wide open skies
golden farmlands
bicycle rides
fall leaves
generous hospitality
and a feel of ease and grace which suited me just fine.

untangled refuge

aka = big bambu @ the met roof garden





what a feat... what a refuge.

it is the most recent creation by starn studio suspended up at the met roof garden until the end of the month. the bamboo structure measures 100 feet long, 50 feet wide and 50 feet high. the bamboo is strung together with some 50 miles of nylon rope, transforming into an art form peering over the city and the lush central park below. guided tours are offered and i would well advise of taking one - just for the thrill of climbing in between the bamboo, up some 50 feet from the roof garden deck below... but do try and go at an off time and do remember to wear rubber soled shoes.

the piece has an undeniable elegance and intention about it.
in some way, the slender bamboo poles pierce the sky with convergence not conflict.

it is a presence to be considered.

re-entry

re-entry...
into modern life entailed a new home in brooklyn where vignettes of beauty became known...
and became mine to treasure.
