vegetable garden, aeroponics, and a very special gardening tool now on market

my mission statement
i wanted to restate my mission in writing this blog so i remember and reflect on my initial purpose:
to render an organized online journal by editing aesthetic design elements and sharing inspiring resources
and imagery which elevate artful awareness

doesn't everyone want their own vegetable garden?
now, even if you do not have a spare patch of land,
 you can grow a vertical garden and you don't need a wall

here's a company that will provide all the tools and services
as well as explaining the process

la urban farms


no soil clean up
i have my garden in an extra patch of land
all get very dirty from soil
need to be monitored frequently but found a new great product

edyn
a smart garden system that monitors all levels water etc.. for you
can check your garden conditions from your smart phone
there is a solar panel in your garden sensor
which signals your water system controls

amazing
i have already pre-ordered one!

NY fashion week didn't want to miss the art

i want to share my 2 special site visits worth seeing if going to nyc
while in ny for fashion week for my inhouse textile cuffs


did not want to miss koontz exhibit at the whitney until october 19th. museum closes and reopens as metropolitan 20th+ contemporary space and koontz then goes to paris pompidou and bilbao


the collection is very comprehensive and i have a newly acquired respect for artist's technical execution
really liked some of the paintings
some of my favorite



some earlier works



since my last nyc visit the judd foundation reopened in soho and really enjoyed seeing his studio and works
no pictures allowed-reservations mandatory for guided visits


also this trip i visited the highline from 14th street meat packing entrance and enjoyed seeing the well designed walk, food, and new yorkers enjoying the landscape
