| My kitchen green bin fitted with a newspaper liner |
Dean has been making origami newspaper liners for our kitchen green bin since 2012. We got the idea from the SF Chronicle and never went back. Per my directions, he folds a section of newsprint in such a way that a colorful photograph faces out and entertains me as I cook. The link below contains the full instructions, as outlined in a previous blog post. The liner featured above shows a photo from an article that reports on an immense art installation in San Francisco's Embarcadero Plaza. We seldom go to San Francisco these days, but we happened to travel to the city on Bart and disembark at Embarcadero station the very day the statue was unveiled. The massive forty five foot construction that greeted us was an awesome sight and we marveled at it along with a few other sightseers. We didn't learn the whole story until we heard the news a few days later.
The name of the statue is R-Evolution, and you can read all about her in the following link: R-Evolution. The presence of this towering, breathing creation has caused some controversy, and for me it's a relief to opine about the place of art in public spaces as opposed to focusing on more ominous matters.
