San Francisco is quite an unique city. It has beauty, art, museums, architecture, sports, diversity, food, drink, adventure, and much more. I love those aspects of this city. Not being far from where I live, about a three and a half hour drive, I try to visit a few times a year. Tasting only a couple of it’s gems at a time.

This trip was no different. We were there to experience an event called México in a Bottle. This event is geared to explore and taste Mezcal and some local restaurant offerings. Before that event, we went to the San Francisco ~ Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) for a visit

I do appreciate art very much but modern art is not always my favorite, interesting but sometimes hard to understand or appreciate. However, there were some exhibits that I really could and loved. The first two are 3D installation pieces and the third one is a painting.

Shapes of mesh.

A balancing act.

Beautiful warm shades of nature from gold to burgundy. Looks like tree bark to me.

Outside there was a beautiful live wall filled with plants of different shades of green. As we walked along there were a nice display of cast iron installation pieces that contrasted against the green wall.

Going from floor to floor I very much enjoyed some signage painted on the walls. A great way to use type in a modern art sort of way.

I was so inspired by this installation that I made my own pieces to display in my studio/office. Words to live by. I didn’t have room to frame them bu it was a fun project.
