Cheers to new beginnings! Wish you a happy and healthy New Year.
2020 is the 9th year of my annual gingerbread house/sculpture. This season’s work is inspired by the French artist, Jean Dubuffet. I’ve been familiar with his sculpture Group of Four Trees, in lower Manhattan. I had a photoshoot using my hats and the sculpture 15 years ago. Last fall, when the NYC galleries started to open, we got to view an indoor version of the same series at Pace Gallery in Chelsea. We could walk through the work which made my 8 year old daughter very happy. The exhibition was especially great, since we found it difficult being in public during the pandemic, and this experience made us momentarily remove ourselves from reality.
I covered the almond cookies with white chocolate and outlined it with black icing. With a better plan and technique, I feel it could look better. I think of this every year, but I had fun planning it out. As I saw my family biting into the gingerbread, I felt that the holidays officially ended.
After a year full of challenges, hopefully you’re excited to start this year fresh and will be a lot less chaotic than the last.
ブルックリン美術館のフリーダカーロ展は、Appearances Can Be Deceivingというタイトルが付いていて、見かけだけではわからない、かつ、自己演出で何にでもなれる、ような感じがあって、とても好きです。所有していた数々のコルセットや左右の高さの違う靴など、少々衝撃的な展示物も多いですが、日々の生活で工夫したり組み合わせて美意識を磨き、自分のAppearanceを作り上げたのは見事だなあと思います。外見だけではわからないこともありますが、外見も多くを語ると思うので。
Our little girl is six years old now! How time indeed flies! Remi requested to have a Mad Tea Birthday Party as Alice. Everyday is pretty much wonderland around here.
