POWER=ENERGY=AMERICA

And feeling refreshed after a couple of hours of being able to concentrate there I walked a half a block over from the MET to the Robert Mann Gallery. He is having a show called Fotofiber of embroidered photographs. It’s a surreal art form so the pictures were like leftovers after the feast, sometimes some of them look even better. It was a day of original art, one-offs which feel rarer every day. Even so, embroidery is still an art form in need of respect. Happily, Robert Mann is the one to take on that kind of challenge.
