This was a wonderful festival I attended last fall and encourage all of you to go to when it returns. Bring to Light was New York City's first ever " Nuit Blanche" a global all night public art festival that began in Europe. Bring to Light brought together New York visual and performance artists to animate public spaces and illuminate the industrial waterfront in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Louise Nevelson

I love the work of Louise Nevelson, her work continues to inspire me. " Sky Cathedral" is one of my favorites of her work and we are lucky enough to have it on exhibit in NYC at MOMA. “My total conscious search in life has been for a new seeing, a new image, a new insight. This search not only includes the object, but the in-between place. The dawns and the dusks. The objective world, the heavenly spheres, the places between the land and sea...Whatever creation man invents, the image can be found in nature. We cannot see anything that we are not already aware of. The inner, the outer = One.”
— Louise Nevelson by John Gordon, Whitney Museum of Art, 1967, p.12

Tennessee Ernie Ford Sings 16 Tons

This song is about the life of a coal miner, but I think so many can relate especially to the chorus "another day older & deeper in debt". Its been covered by many varied artists thru the years..The Clash called their 1980 tour the 16 tons tour.
