Wood and Screws

A few weeks ago I went to the Sculptural Objects and Functional Art (SOFA) exhibit at the Park Ave Armory.  It comes every year and is my favorite exhibit to go to.  I was obsessed with the sculptures by Jeahyo Lee, from Korea.  His pieces look blobby from afar, but as you get closer, the materials become more apparent.

Made with a bunch of screws

When I'm rich and have a huge house, I'm buying this.

I asked to lay on this and they let me!

What if our sun looked like this?

Thanks, Jeahyo for doing what you do.  It's incredible.

Obsessed: Chie Mihara Shoes

I don't allow myself to shop as much as I want to (disposable income needs to go towards raw materials, not shoes!  wa waaaa)  However, one cold winter day, in a moment of weakness, I stumbled upon these beautiful shoes by Chie Mihara and it was love at first sight.  Love, meaning would I marry them?  Why yes, I would marry them!  They're more dependable than any man I've dated, so why not?

Living in New York, makes me very picky, rather, intolerable of most shoes - I mean when you're on your feet walking for 4 hours through Manhattan, there's not much outside of New Balance shoes that will keep you pain-free.  These puppies, though, can carry me through an entire night of running around - no problem.

In her new Spring collection, Ms. Mihara says "A toast to life -- This new collection is all about positive energy: it's about renewing your thoughts and enjoying a fresh breeze in these times." -- Don't you worry, I will do my civic duty of supporting positive energy and world peace.  I will buy shoes!  (but which ones?)
