The Launchpad solo show came up on my page this am! I had 3 shows in 2020.

First Friday opening @carbondalecreativedistrict@thelaunchpad #smallglimpsesmanytimes #exhibitionopening My hope is to add to the conversations about healing the divides between us through art. Let me know your thoughts and if I’m my experiment is pointing that way!! So great to have had real humans at the first opening of my 4 shows in the 1-1/2 years. Felt really good! Hope all of you can see it. #artwork #hopeful #artaschangeagent #sculptures #carbondalecolorado
There are waves.
Some lap peacefully at the shore.
Some toss you upside down.
Some you catch, and ride perfectly
on the wings of water.
You are not the waves.
Remember:
you can dive deep,
deeper still.
There
you are the depths
and the whole ocean.

Authentically Authentic
There’s one word I hear over and over when I talk to marketing people and something they struggle with, AUTHENTICITY.
I mean I get it and I don’t. Companies striving to shroud themselves in some kind of “authentic” branding campaign to show people that “hey, we’re more than people trying to sell you something”. I mean, it feels like in SF we see this stuff all the time, for example, really successful woolen shoe companies and uniform basic clothing lines (no names I promise). They sell themselves as saviors of our times, promising clothing and shoes made in “ethical” situations across the seas, away from the customers prying eyes. Fair traded and environmentally thoughtful. Don’t mind me but I’m skeptical as fuck.
Not like we can really compare with the larger corporations mentioned but companies like us, we wear our hearts on our sleeve. You can come in and see where it’s all made, right here in San Francisco. You can ask us anything and we’ll tell you straight up. We don’t hide our mistakes and we participate int he community around us. Profit is not our bottom line, craft is. Take note marketers, that’s how you be authentically authentic.

Gli studenti dalle migliori università internazionali accompagnati da Riccardo #Illy e @italiainnovation hanno scoperto #risoacquerello e la #TenutaColombara come esempio di eccellenza del #madeinitaly
On the eve of the 2019 Coachella Festival, we are reflecting on the changes in the event’s design culture from DIY experiment to big production value and power brokerage with international reach. Here’s 2009’s Elastic Plastic Sponge. So many great memories. 📷 and 💡 @_c_ball_
The Elastic Plastic Sponge was created by students from the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) led by Benjamin Ball, Gaston Nogues and Andrew Lyon of the Ball-Nogues Studio. The Elastic Plastic Sponge is a large scale installation and can be twisted, arched and curled to form different types of space including a lounge, a theater, or a large sculptural Mobius strip. In the desert heat of Indio, the architectural installation will provide a respite from the sun by making shade and mist while at night, each “cell” within the Elastic Plastic Sponge supports a fluorescent tube–the tubes shift in orientation relative to each other to create the effect of sweeping motion. The motion effect is evident from close-up as well as impactful from across the vast festival grounds–an important asset in an environment of throngs of festival-goers and competing spectacles. The Elastic Plastic Sponge is a unique structure. In architecture terminology, the phrase that describes a system whose form is derived from its material properties is “form active.” These types of structures are difficult to study using software. They often require architects to explore their designs by testing full-scale mock-ups, and using that empirical information to help inform the process of digital modeling, which is studied in the studio rather than in the field. The Elastic Plastic Sponge is comprised of 250 cells, each fabricated using custom jigs designed by SCI-Arc students. The cell module is a very effective way of constructing a temporary structure: each can be transported as a flat unit to the Festival and rapidly assembled on site.

2018 || With this year coming to an end, we can't help but reflect on all that 2018 has brought Summers Moore. Summers is an artist who searches for truth and meaning in both her photography and fine art. Her film 'Ten Years Out' has been picked up by 5 film festivals, she has taught numerous photography classes to adults and the youth, curated 3 local exhibitions and brought us endless smiles through her local projects in the valley. Thank you to all that have been a part of her journey and for bringing meaning to her work. Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!
To 2019 and many Moore!
CHEERS to all the success it will bring. *

A year ago since I travelled to Barcelona solo to teach Yoga at The Collective Europe. It changed SO much in my life - gonna do a wee video on it later - I’m so fricking grateful for it all! I met lots of cool people and it was simply eye opening.
Huge thanks especially to @aniquecoffee@thecollectiveeurope@shivvy.mac.gin@sarah_thebetterlifeproject for your impact on this change ✨ •

There are dreamers and there are realists in this world. You’d think the dreamers would find the dreamers, and realists would find the realists, but more often that not the opposite is true. You see, the dreamers need the realists to keep them from soaring too close to the sun. And the realists, well without the dreamers, they might never get off the ground. - Cameron Tucker #CommunityOverCompetition #TheCollectiveEurope
