The National Museum of Women in the Arts has worked for 3 years to create the New York Avenue Sculpture Project. Finally, on April 28, 2010, the Museum will fulfill this dream by unveiling four sculptures by famed
MOSAIC ARTIST Niki de Saint Phalle. Niki is known for her larger than life sculptures using mosaics. These wonderful, colorful sculptures will no doubt enliven New York Avenue in Washington D.C. and will provide something beautiful for visitors and workers in the area on a daily basis. I can't wait to see them in person!!!
I love little black dresses. This piece, 'Miss Ellie', incorporates wonderful, shiny black beads, black tile laid in a pattern and black mirrored glass around the bottom trim of the dress. Actress Toni Collette wore a dress to the Golden Globes with a similar pattern on the bodice. I like how the pattern accentuates 'Miss Ellie's' waist and she looks like she has spent time in the gym! I am so excited for the Oscars on Sunday, I will be glued to the pre-show and will definately buy all the magazines after for inspiration.
