Falling Down - The Chicago Series

I just returned from a week in Chicago. The Windy City never lets me down as a source of ideas and inspiration for green projects and art at the S.C.R.A.P. Gallery.

Our upcoming show at the S.C.R.A.P. Gallery called Falling Down, opening on November 13, encourages artists to create work with found pieces or things that have made it to the ground floor. Now Chicago is a pretty and mostly clean metropolis, but right now it is swirling with autumnal colors and you guessed it, things falling down from the trees and shrubs. So in between shopping and museum-hopping, I would run and collect leaves and twigs off the ground. I couldn't help myself.

So here is the start of what I like to call my Falling Down - Chicago Series. I can't wait to see what our other participants, all California artists, come up with. Who knows what they have picked up?

Please drop by the Falling Down opening reception on November 13, 7 p.m. at the S.C.R.A.P. Gallery, 46350 Arabia Street, Indio, CA.
