interlude: shoes

Reasons to work — I came down the staircase yesterday afternoon from the 4th floor to the visitor’s promenade, taking a break. I was wandering and something sparkly caught my right eye, almost behind me. I walked back under the staircase and edged past an unused conversational grouping of table and chairs to find this hanging on the wall!

The image does not do it justice. The dark areas are “diamond dust” and if you get up close you can see the little squares of the silk screening visible in the dark dust. You can just make out the traces of the brand name in the sole of the center shoe.

This piece is fabulous, the colors are luscious, I found a new friend in the workplace!!!
