If you're in the city this weekend, head over to Pier 94 for the NY Art Expo, opening tomorrow 4/23-4/26. There will be hundreds of fantastic artists represented as well as a piece from my The Places We Ignore collection.
The Places We Ignore aimed to showcase the overlooked beauty of the NYC subway system. I started snapping pictures of interesting elements I saw on my commute to work and they ultimately inspired the whole collection. Every morning I would stand at the 2nd. Ave F stop patiently awaiting my train. I would stand in the same spot every day and watch and watch the white and blue tiled wall magically light up as the train approached the station. 2nd Ave aimed to capture this fleeting moment. These otherwise static, mundane tiles suddenly come alive and full of energy creating a starling mosaic before our eyes.
Go check it out!
