Wander Aimlessly

Every once in a while it’s good to get on the city street with no particular place in mind and wander through the cityscape. Today I did just that. It’s been a while since I’ve just opened up and let the inspiration guide me. After doing some work, I jumped on the train and got off in Nolita. I walked on Prince street and crossed over the bowery and tried to feel the street and take in the tiniest details of the environment. Often times, just looking up while your walking, will help you totally reframe how you see and interpret your environment.

As I was walking through the LES, I meandered near the Chinatown border and serendipitously found myself at Kristine Woodward gallery (www.woodgallery.net). I looked in and saw some vibrant graffiti instillations. I wanted to know more and decided to enter. Upon entering there were two humongous dogs that look like they could snap me in two, but I entered anyway. Luckily for me, they were have a lazy Sunday afternoon rest and couldn’t be bothered. 

After entering, I saw that the exhibit was a solo show for Graf legend, Lady Pink. The pieces were bold and vibrant and touched on everything from mothers in prison, to Asian motifs and techni-color vegetation. Weird, wacky and wonderful stuff.

I left the house looking for some inspiration and the street gods definitely answered.
