Ed's boss has transformed the first floor of her home into an art gallery for the weekend. Ghanaian and Nigerian artists have sent their work (and some have sent themselves as well) for display and sale in the States. We took the train out to Morris Plains and walked the mile to her house, only getting a little bit lost--the map I printed wasn't the most detailed. The art was amazing. Ed loved a huge painting with a ritual African mask in the center. We talked with the artist about the symbolism he used to include lots of different African cultures in it.
Suburban Jersey reminded me of KC. Lots of trees, homes that have been around for awhile. I even saw a street named after a friend:
It's really pretty, too.
On the way home, we came across an artist, painting on the side of a building on 10th Ave.
Cool, huh?
Great Pics! Where can I buy one of those Africans that are for sale? :)
