revelation through concealment*
~
One of the great perks of hanging out with hip, artistic people is that you get invited to hip, artistic events. Last week my husband and I went to the opening of the Christo exhibition at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. I was already acquainted with the larger than life art of Christo and his late wife Jean-Claude. Through research this past week I've really begun to adore their creativity and the audacity it must take to create such massive temporary works of art.
