Visitor Highlights

One of the great things about being an artist in residence at the museum is meeting a huge range of visitors.  From little kids with suggestions for what color to use next, to grown ups who want to know all about my process, I bump into the most interesting people here.  Last week a real highlight occurred, when fashion designer Marjorie Nezin stopped by.

I forgot my camera that day (damn!) but did find this picture of her in the same outfit (made of human hair) on the New York Post’s website.  Those braids on the sides of her cheeks, the ones with beads all over?  Those end in polar bear claws, re-purposed from a rug she once owned.  Yep.  You heard it here first.
