yoko ono is well-known to most as beattle's john lennon's wife, but i learned on saturday that she was actually a well-respected artist and musician as well at the moma yoko ono: one woman show exhibit.
every one of her works felt abstract to me, and forced me to expand my mind in order to even grasp at the concepts she was trying to speak through her art. she has the mind of a true creative! without a care in the world for how she may be perceived.
here are two of the exhibits i enjoyed ~ "half a room" where every object is shown just as one half of its original structure, and "to see the sky". her love for the sky began as a child when she was growing up in japan during world war ii and would look up at the sky. it's interesting how your environment can shape you.
for brunch, kevin and gil's friend, matt, joined us for some delicious chorizon, mushroom, and spinach omelets, and banana pancakes at the national, just a few blocks away. props to kevin for finding such a tasty brunch spot for the seven of us in the neighborhood with just a moment's notice!
look! we're on a bench :)
