Dark & Gloomy ~ and only just starting!

It's been snowing for an hour and I can't wait to see how much we actually get! The first snowfall is always the most fun! We're supposed to get up to 10" here in the city... yippy skippy!!!!

Evening at the ICA

Went to an AIGA event last night which, as usual, turned kind of boring. But we ventured into the ICA gallery rooms after the lecture and discovered the most AWESOME exhibit by Tara Donovan. Rooms and rooms filled with sculptures made out of everyday items such as: straws, toothpicks, styrofoam cups, pin needles, buttons, glass, mylar, paper plates, etc., etc. It was like being in Alice in Wonderland.

This is a shot of the plastic cup room. Her work covered the floors, the walls and the ceilings! I can't get what I saw out of my mind. You have to see it to experience it! Wish I could have gotten pictures of all the mind-blowing sculptures but they stopped us before we really got started!
