The other day my friend Kacie Lees and I ran another one of our BYOG mirror parties at Urbanglass. I felt kinda bad sending Ari the registrar out for a last minute paper cup run for mixing chemicals, but my heart was warmed when she hung the glass chain we mirrored for her on her desk.

Speaking of Mirrors, you can catch, Your Magic Is Real at Urbanglass in downtown Brooklyn. It has lots of mirrors in it- and you will need to work with a friend and hold hands to activate it.

If you REALLY have FOMO, Kacie and I are teaching a more intense mirror and neon class in a few weeks. Mirror World will run in the evenings at Urbanglass- March 25th-29th and is a neon AND mirror class. I attached a photo of a rainbow celebration sculpture I made at a show Kacie curated on Governors Island back in 2019. I really gotta return to that silver rainbow body of work.

What caught my eye in this Brooklyn scene? The contrast of repeating elements paired with eye-catching details like the Clock Tower and that bold red-and-white water tower. It’s the little things that make architecture and cityscapes so fascinating!

What kinds of details catch your eye when out and about?

This is a public philosophy salon. A participatory lecture, some thought experiments, my first time teaching in an establishment that sells liquor (at least officially)

Long Island, Manhattan, the Hudson Valley are all inundated in the New York State #Petrofuture — 66m sea level rise on a 1956 Shell Oil map. 

Rising seas on top of petro corporation propaganda…These maps are a subversion of advertising and nostalgia.
