#aftacon

At its annual conference last week, Americans for the Arts’ 2016 Year in Review honored the Second Avenue Subway art installations by Sarah Sze, Chuck Close, Vik Muniz and Jean Shin! Chosen by a jury from 325 entries from North America, awarded projects are considered among the best public art produced in the preceeding year.

Well so long Minnesota! It's been fun and hectic and I learned a ton, met amazing people and hastily created bucket list items to tick off. Both #aftacon and #pointsoflight were immensely valuable and I came back full of renewed hope and ideas 🎶 As Saturday is #pride I moved the #121212 @artery.is show to next Friday 28th with @stirlingmyles and @kafeeny - please do come along 💜 giveaway pending! Here's me and Mary Tyler Moore throwing it up downtown (thanks @david.doherty) I swear I'm not giving the finger to the sky 😅 Love that dress though, I feel like a watermelon princess in it 🤩 More posts to follow! Including details of the giveaway 💐 (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/By8Jv_OHsO7/?igshid=u1lrijz6dqne

Both my parents have a day today. Celebrating my dad, who taught me a love of music, how to sew, to measure, saw and mitre to build a decent fence, to play and read music, and to listen. Celebrating my mum, who taught me to cook, to love gardens and nature, how to dress and how to push the envelope. . This is one of my favourite photos of them I have ever taken, on a disposable camera from when I was 13 in Donegal and they came to visit me at Irish college. For anybody who didn't grow up in Ireland, teenagers were sent off to Irish speaking areas known as Gaeltacht to speak Irish exclusively and learn dance and song. Love to them both on this day. Wish I was there to hold nails and tools, or to chop up all the herbs for dinner. 💜 . Lots of photos to follow from #aftacon and Minneapolis but I wanted to take a moment to remember. . . .
