case study

during quarantine, west end avenue is closed from 96th street to 86th street to offer more freedom of movement on the upper west side.

i do not walk down it often but when i do, i notice this young woman more or less in the same spot, standing in the crosswalk or sitting in the center island, usually wearing her denim jacket, always with her laptop and phone, possibly in a twist on wfh status...

i saw her yesterday and wondered if she is perhaps creating some kind of film documenting her day, but she is so focused and intent that i did not wish to disturb her by asking.

Labor Day love


Surely a summer highlight was attending the opening night for artist and friend Gabrielle Lundy whose textile collage was shown at Chelsea's Viridian Artists juried exhibition in mid-July.  She flew in from Seattle to participate in the show upon learning her work had been included. 

Changing Hands, Stitching Stories is crafted from multiple up-cycled fabrics collected by the artist and mounted on an old picket fence.   

Gay has been creating textile collage and mixed media assemblage for over three decades now in spite of being diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis.  

A self-taught contemporary maker who has lived all over the world, she celebrates everyday materials through exuberant color and design.

Labor Day love goes to this true labor of love!
