It has been a difficult night, but the beauty of the sun rising over the water still holds healing properties and worth the adventuring in the darkness to catch the first morning bus at 6:45.

Movement | Vitruvian Yoga
I started using the rigorous geometric definition of the human body used by Leonardo da Vinci in the Vitruvian Man to explore different ways to inscribe human movements in dynamic geometric forms.

camminando | Melbourne, Fitzroy
My meanderings in Fitzroy reminded me of East Village in New York ...with a Victorian twist
Brunswick Street diverse building types
Gertrude Street
Fairs | New York, ICFF
International Contemporary Furniture Fair
New York City, Jacob K. Javits Convention Center
A yearly gathering of some of the world's best furniture makers - large and small - from austere to overtly decorative. Here are a few scenes from the last four days.
Screens of cut-out material using CAD/CAM process (computer aided design / computer aided manufacturing)
Among all the examples of new technology, there was also this African man methodically weaving fabric into wonderful tapestries and carpets.
An example of his work.
Just ten meters from the African weaver was this CAD/CAM machine, carving out sculptures of wood from a computer design.
A table base produced by the CAD/CAM machine.
And lights were everywhere - often made of folded origami-type forms.
