Night in Bloom

This is my last post from the Dumbo Arts Festival. Here, we see Jae Hi Ahn's patch of underwater flora which embraces the shore of the Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park with the Manhattan Bridge as backdrop. The sculpture created a lot of interest - it was one of the most visually prominent works outdoors with its bright plastic colors. The installation was part of an outdoor group of works called Project Glow - click here to see works nearby, including Sparkling Air with its sparkling sequins. Jae appears to be quite an active artist - you can read her resume here or an artist's statement here. The afternoon I was there, I got to meet her; Jae was on site taking photos of her work - that's her in the upper right photo. BTW, click on the photo to enlarge it and take note of her earrings :)
