January Flying Carpet 2017

In January the Flying Carpet
did loop-de-loops all over Coconut Grove and Miami...
a visit to a singular sister 
on a significant birthday...



Fairchild Gardens and The Kampong...
The gardens and home of David Fairchild
world traveler, plant collector, 
scientist, educator

alarmingly beautiful palm tree bark
illuminated manuscripts




a riot of exuberant plants
filling the air and the water with life


Dr Fairchild’s Laboratory...
a reconstruction/ installation 
by artist Mark Dion...
remembering Fairchild's desk
with his coco de mer
so many years ago... 
a lasting inspiration...
 

The Wynwood Walls
“"Since its inception, 
the Wynwood Walls program
has seen over 50 artists
representing 16 countries
and have covered 
over 80,000 square feet of walls."”

“"Art should comfort the disturbed
and disturb the comfortable."
--” Banksky
 

A wonderous installation 
by Juio Le Parc
at the Perez Museum

moving mirrors of shadows and light
Through the Looking Glass
 

Special thanks to Bill
 

Louise
 


 and especially Henry



and Karen
who turned herself into the heroine
of a noir movie at The Biltmore
