August 6: Arent you glad you came?
By Noland park
With Noa and Nic, 1 to 5pm
Text from Daniel
We earlier in the blazing sun, searching for breeze in between shades of buildings. Noa works in textile, photo, sculpture and installation. We shared a class together and I really appreciate the way Noa utilizes and combines daily objects into small miracles. This is Noa’s first time on the island, and I felt honored to be the art tour guide. The island today was a big party, full of art happenings, open studios, picnic, live music and performances.
Nic joined while we were visiting Barent @circulareconomymfg at his solar-powered micro factory right by the Lavender Field. Nic is a theater designer, educator and scholar. We continued our way west and visited Peter at NADA House, ate some chicken, and got back to Nolan Park for the text.
Noa chose “aren’t you glad you came” from Daniel @danielthomasquinn. As it happened, today was also Nic’s first time on the island. We were ardent to leave some marks for others to enjoy. The bold text across the brick walkway invited people to stop and consider the journey they took and the decisions they made along the way.
Nic suggested to try out Apple Watch as a visual guide for the selfie— it was a total life changer! We also explored wider lens shots. Moving forward, the combination of Apple Watch and clicker will greatly improve photo quality and creative shots.
