I've always delighted in the stories and essays of David Sedaris, but if I'd never read Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim or When You Are Engulfed in Flames, I would pick up Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls on the basis of its title. This has been my best reading year so far. I've already read five books; two by Sedaris. During these times, who doesn't need a bit of his humor to brighten your day?
I could never get enough of Sayaka Ganz . The Japanese-born artist saves the planet from plastic, at the same time creates brilliant animal sculptures. Raised under the Japanese philosophy of Shintoism, she hopes to bring greater awareness to the condition of our environment through her art. When creating sculptures, Sayaka organizes the reclaimed plastic objects into color groups, constructs a wire frame, and then carefully attaches the fragments of waste until she creates the shape she has envisioned. Her work has been exhibited in many places around the globe, among them Parma, Tokyo, Denver, New York, and San Francisco to name a few. Sayaka's Reclaimed Creations is currently on view at the Asian Arts & Culture Center at Towson University in Maryland. She regularly posts on Facebook, so be sure to like and follow her page for updates.
