the urban jungle



last fall I splurged on a quick little trip to New York (as my dad so succinctly put,
I don't know what it's like to live there, but no trip will ever be long enough, so just go,)

among every other amazing thing I saw and experienced there,
by some divine intervention, Roxy Paine's installation on the rooftop of the Metropolitan museum was extended by a month, meaning it was still open for my visit in early November,
Maelstrom, aside from being a phenomenal piece to experience, happened to be the work I spent
nearly a month of my summer researching/pondering for on for an art history essay,
and then I got to see it in person, by surprise (I didn't know it was extended,)

here are a few photos I took
if you touch the thin parts and push and pull the piece vibrates and hums with life,
