Inspired by art
Having settled into my routine again after a trip into the surreal and beautiful. I find myself asking what do I do to bring more creativitiy into my daily life and remain inspired more of the time. Fortunately, I have always had an interest in art as well as some practical crafts like sewing and am planning something fun for Halloween (my favorite holiday). I always need a project to work towards or I go stir crazy..
I was walking down Broadway the other day and noticed all the amazing art installments in the newly abondoned storefronts and couldn't help but think to myself, "god I wish that all of Broadway looked like this all of the time." If you haven't had a chance, please walk the eastside of Broadway just north of the college to John street. It's way better at night since some of the art is lit up a bit and easier to see. It left me feeling inspired, surprised, and a little sad that the buildings would soon be gone, changing once again a street in a neighborhood that I've known for so long. Still, the art on display there is much nicer to look at than a bunch of abandoned buildings. The whole thing kind of reminds me a bit of Pat Murphy's, "The City Not Long After" except that in that story, most of the population is dead and instead of a city block of art, it was all of San Francisco that was "abandoned" and the art projects were of a much larger scale. I'm so rereading this book, it's been years.
