New Song Sunday - NYC Gone Gone

This week is the opening of the Cooper-Hewitt's National Design Triennial: Why Design Now?

And my super-amazing, awe-inspiring, big sis and artiste extraordinaire Rachel Wright, has a piece in it - yeah, she rocks. Sigh, I'll be able to say "I knew her when..." AND I get to be her arm candy in New York City next week for the reception. Life is good ;)

Here is Rachel's piece in the exhibit:
About this design: "I based it on the traditional Maori facial tattoos. These gentlemen would “sign” documents and contracts by drawing their unique facial tattoo instead of signing their names." -Rachel Wright

    Toolgrrl (aka Rachel Wright) - heck yeah! glad you liked it

    Waterrose- Yes, we're completely stoked ;) Rachel tells me that the show won't be traveling, but that there will be a catalogue published... I'd be interested in seeing that too - should be good.
