ART WITH BAGGIES. Bruce Cayard sent me this link to the work of Joshua Allen Harris, which features sculptures made from garbage bags. They are inflated by the exhaust from subways, which also creates motion. One of the appeals for me is that it makes use of subway grates which are part of the texture of New York City, a part which I have walked by for years without noticing. The sculptures link the street and the activity at the level below it.
