Thankfully, before leaving the city after work this evening, I remembered I wanted to go check out Zhang Jingna‘s piece at the “Your Favorite Artist’s Favorite Artist” exhibit in the Joshua Liner Gallery. As the exhibit’s title…

The High Line NYC in the Fall
The last time I visited the High Line was May of this year. It was springtime, so all of the flowers were in full bloom and the colors were so bright and lively. When I visited this month, most of the flowers were drying up. Instead of the bright pinks and orange flowers that are…
