Summer Excursion #1: Corning Museum of Glass
I’ve been doing some glass research and it brought me to the Corning Museum of Glass in early July. I’ve featured the CMoG in my Design Diary before, but now there is more reason to visit than ever. The new wing they just added is gorgeous, and it houses the modern art collection that looks […]
Art By Chance
Demolition on the side of a building, exposing layers of building material, rivals what one sees in a museum. So beautiful. Art by chance on Avenue A

Life Imitates Art
Reflections on the wall out back reminding me of a Ross Bleckner painting. #lifeimitatesart #ilovelight #rossbleckner
Snowboard History 2
Love the asymmetrical early 90s snowboards. When I met John he was riding one of these. @burton #snowboards #asymetrical
Snowboard History 1
The history of the snowboard on the wall in the Burton store in Burlington VT. My childhood friend John Nagel was the visionary in our neighborhood. He had one of the first snowboards I ever saw, with the string. Probably the 1979 model above. @burton #snowboards

Off to “The Coca-cola Bottle: An American Icon at 100” opening at High Museum in Atlanta tonight. Harry Allen Design is represented. More later.
Ski Culture
Aspen CO, for so many reasons one of my favorite places in the world, now has a world-class art museum designed by Shigeru Ban. It’s a great relief from the preferred ski-resort-style of massive stone and timber buildings. From the woven wood exterior to the cardboard tube seating, the building is layered with structural textures. […]
CMOG
Been wondering when the new buildings at the Corning Museum of Glass will open. The wait is almost over. The invite arrived today. March 20th! #cmog @corningmuseum
Mac Attack
So we got into the Taylor Mac show last night, and it is amazing! It’s sold out, but get on the waitlist if you can. Intelligent. Subversive. Messy. Beautiful. Not for the faint of heart at three hours long, but what a talent. @newyorklivearts #iloveperformanceart #taylormac
The Color of Water
I painted a watercolor every morning in Thailand over the holidays. I think I’m going to take a class.

The Grey Area in Brooklyn
When I lived on Myrtle Avenue in the early 90s it was downright dangerous. Now it is home to Grey Area. I attended their fall opening party with Liz Collins. Grey Area straddles the zone between art and design, hence the name, and it stirred the collector in me. I love these bowls by Katherine Gray… […]
Bedford Beauty
Last week I attended Bedford Magazine’s 10th Anniversary party. They made it through one of the most difficult ten years in the publishing industry and celebrated it in style at one of the highest and most beautiful points in town. The magazine is a phenomenon; a little local startup by Geoffrey Morris – who very […]
