right vs flight

im flying back to LA soon and given the holiday season, i’m sure security at the airports are going to be even more crazy. I’ve been through the full-body scanner and I’ve also been through a pat-down, neither of which is a particularly pleasant experience.
I came across this project recently that makes clothes with metallic ink-printed messages that show up under the X-ray scanner.
But it reminded me of this project, which used messages cut into stainless steel plates that are concealed in the travel bag. When under the scanner, it turns into a communication tool aimed at airport security. stealth! a bit heavy for my carry-on though.

Yesterday I spent an amazing day playing up in the Hudson Valley, visiting the Blue hill stone barnes cafe and Stormking Sculpture Park.
Although all of the sculptures were beautiful and augmented the landscape in their own ways, these were my favorites.
Sol LeWitt
Alexander Calder
Kenneth Snelson
The last one being a beautiful example of Buckminster Fuller’s tensegrity structures.
and Chef Dan Barber? Lets get married. I think it would be just great.

Trevor Paglen’s work is all about “seeing in the dark”. Photographs of satellite warfare over the intrepid Sonora pass or restricted chemical and biological proving grounds in Utah reminds us that the space around us is hardly empty or pristine, despite what it looks like to the naked eye. Landscape photographs hardly about the landscapes. I’m a believer.

Leaving and LIDA in Los Angeles

hard to believe that i grew up with these kids, and now they are amazing individuals in their own right. i had a great time running around town with them this summer, and of course in return, i enlisted them to model some new jewelry pieces for me. it’s what you get for being gorgeous boys n’ girls! you will be USED. this artist-formerly-known-as-Daria is headed back to the city of black but the city of angels will mean more to me than higher hemlines and guerrilla parking. let’s do it again soon.
xoxo, ang
