Visiting Artist Residencies: LaGuardia

I was walking to my flight at the Jetblue Terminal and saw a tiny art studio in the lobby area. I stopped and chatted a bit, but was rushing to my flight.  What a funny place for a popup art location, I thought. And then I came through again, and my plane was delayed. Finally I had the proper time. I stayed and spoke to Davi Leventhal, and enchanting man who told me about being raised Brazilian in NYC, something I related to, being raised Azorean in Boston. His art was based on fuxicos-simple circles of fabric, which when combined, make a giant tapestry of color and energy.  Visitors are invited to make one and leave one. I made 3, but one fell apart.  He gifted me one-which I will attach to a blanket my grandmother made me.
