This bright and shiny rooftop tops the building where my dear friend and artist Andrea Wenglowskyj lives in the Bedford-Stuyuesant area of Brooklyn along with her roomates, artist Nate Kassel and Natalie. Click here for more photos of the space, and to see their mini garden. Basil, tarragon, and a sweet little moon and stars watermelon were all planted at Sow-in.

Come see and taste heirloom cabbage, and enjoy lots of provacative art during Windows Brooklyn, happening June 14-21 along Smith and Carroll Street in Brooklyn. Two of my dearest friends and fellow artists, Sara Jones, and Andrea Wenglowskyj, and I curated this show, and 27 shops have generously lent us their storefront windows to bring art out into the community.
My installation Cabbage, consisting of heirloom cabbage seedlings will be shown at 0.00156 Acres Art Space, then harvested, cooked, and eaten during the artist talks on June 21st. Click here for information on participating stores, artists, special events, and a map.

Here’s a little insect love from Isabella Rossellini.
When the little bluebird
Who has never said a word
Starts to sing Spring
When the little bluebell
At the bottom of the dell
Starts to ring Ding dong Ding dong
When the little blue clerk
In the middle of his work
Starts a tune to the moon up above
It is nature that is all
Simply telling us to fall in love
And that’s why birds do it, bees do it
Even educated fleas do it
Let’s do it, let’s fall in love…
- Let’s Do It, Cole Porter
