		<description><![CDATA[I am currently at week 4 of my 6 week Italian residency. I’ve learned the reasons behind creating this program- the organizer had roots in the town, and wanted to give it a dose of artistic life. The town has it’s problems, including a low birth rate, vacant apartments, abandoned buildings, no restaurants, only one bar and only two small grocery stores. Recently the female Mayor was shot at by the mafia. Some locals call it a dying town.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tiny World Terrariums hits bookshelves around the city this week; a brand new step-by-step guide to creating tiny green worlds for anyone (whether green-thumbed or not). The Twig ladies rightly say, “no matter where you live, terrariums are therapeutic to create and peaceful to observe.” But there’s more to their work than tranquil verdant compositions. Twig takes it further. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before I left New York I visited a psychic, and was allowed to ask three questions. One was how to best to prepare for my art residency in Italy. The response was to be"self sufficient". From past trips to Italy I remember things simply go slowly in this part of the world, and I fully prepared for this. I left JFK airport two weeks ago with 50 pounds of luggage and a carry on suitcase of 20 pounds of glass to be fully self sufficient.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Decay/collapse - ruin/construction - instability/precariousness. While you might think that these phrases would be the end result of bad design, for Brooklyn-based design firm Snarkitecture, they were the beginning of some challenging, thought provoking, and entirely innovative design. To find out more, and to see some examples, read on. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On July 08, 2010, Lebron James, the basketball superstar, decided to take his talents to South Beach. In a now famous public announcement, Lebron James decided to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers (his home team) and go play for the Miami Heat. At that time I just happened to be finishing a pipe cleaner sculpture of Lebron James’ foot. It was the third foot in a series of feet that I had made.]]></description>
