A Scarf in the Park

Hello! I hope you all had a delightful weekend. Today, I'll take you on a trip to the park.

Let's do a flashback to summer, when the hydrangeas were still beginning to bloom.

When the weather was just right for flip flops and tank tops and hanging out on the grass.

We're in Madison Square Park where every summer, there's an art installation on display. This summer featured Orly Genger's "Red, Yellow and Blue".

Re-purposed fisherman's rope, hand-knotted and painted in primary colors by the artist, snaked through the park.

From a distance, the installation looked like three gigantic knitted scarves {one red, one yellow and one blue} wrapped around the trees and bushes. Once up close, you'll want to touch it {you certainly could} and it will surely make you think, "How did she do this?"

I really enjoyed this piece of art, something both young and old can relate to. I also like how much thought and hard work was put into it, and that there's recycling involved {and you know how much I like that}. My only issue was that I could not capture the piece in one photo -- it was massive!

If you're curious, you can read more about the installation here, here and you can find more pictures here and here.

Have a nice day!
