It's not everyday that my 2 worlds collide, but they do from time to time. If you only know me through the blog, then you may be surprised to know that I work in the glamorous, highbrow world of fine arts and last week I had the pleasure of joining pretty much the entire art world (mob) in Miami for the PULSE Miami Art Fair.
And when I laid eyes on THIS masterpiece, I finally felt whole...
If you had asked me the minute before I ever saw this "Katy, what do you like about art?" I don't think the answer would have been "all the pickles" but now, thank god, it IS. I don't know who the genius is behind the pickle dispenser you see here but I do know they are part of a collective called Okay Mountain which is based in Austin, TX. For the art fair, Okay Mountain recreated a convenience store and its inventory down to the very last detail, and it was all for sale. Obviously I wanted this more than anything I've ever wanted in my entire life, but there was already a SOLD "sticker" on it when I saw it...and I couldn't afford it anyway...or transport it back or, even if I could, I doubt my boss would let me keep it near my desk like I dream of...sigh.
