All I can really say is that this show was bigger and better than I had ever hoped for. Evolve took on a life of its own and so many of the artists shared their own powerful stories of overcoming whatever life has tossed along their path.
Over 20 photographers, ceramicists and artists were part of this event. Gay, straight, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender, Black Latino, White, Armenian, poor, broke, rich, wealthy, HIV positive, HIV negative and even two homeless individuals were all artists in this show. The was a direct representation of what Los Angeles looks like and together we showed why we are the City of Angels
About 400 attended the opening at Art Share-LA in Downtown Los Angeles. The event was a complete success with people coming from as far north as Sacramento as far south as San Diego. New York, Denver and even two folks from Atlanta made the trek to the Evolve opening. I was completely blown away.
Big thanks to all the artists for their beautiful pieces, my family, friends and supporters for continuing to embrace my work through Project KengiKat and Do Something Saturday and to everyone who donated and attended the event I want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.

Ribbon Pipehorse- (Caballito pipa listonado) – This mysterious fish keeps us guessing. With a name like “pipihorse”, this fish sounds like a cross between a pipefish and a seahorse, but it’s not. In fact, pipehorses puzzle biologist- no one knows for sure how this fish evolved or where it fits in the seahorse family.

Taking a gastronomic look at art, you can add to an evolving sculpture in the middle of the space: Take a seat around the Edible Art Movement‘s table, upon which books are piled high, but not quite readable due to being frosted with white paint. Perching on the tower of books you will notice a gaggle of jaunty glasses, inside each glass pod there is an item of fruit or veg, the entire sculpture fading through the colour spectrum as you circle it from red chillies to orange lentils to deep green pulses, limes, lemons, fennel and grapes. You are instucted to choose a piece of food and draw it. Your drawing is then exchanged for the food, which is plucked from the glass with a long shiny implement in the hand of a moustached member of the Edible Art Movement, and whisked away on a silver platter. Moments later it returns in a specially wrapped package including recipes from the local market with which the EAM have collaborated. Over the course of the evening, the food based sculpture transformed into a sculpture made up of drawings.
Bayon Temple, located at the heart of Angkor Thom in Cambodia, was built in the late 12th or early 13th century by King Jayavarman VII as the state temple of the Mahayana Buddhist king. It is best known for its massive stone faces carved into 54 towers, each pointing in four directions. These serene and smiling faces are believed to represent either the king himself or the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. The temple marked a significant shift in Khmer architecture, blending spiritual symbolism with political power.
The structure is richly decorated with bas-reliefs that stretch over 1.2 kilometers, depicting scenes from historical battles, daily Khmer life, and religious mythology. Unlike earlier temples like Angkor Wat, which follow a more linear layout, Bayon has a more complex, compact design centered around a cruciform sanctuary. Over time, elements from Hinduism were added, reflecting the temple's evolving religious use. Today, Bayon is a striking symbol of Cambodia’s cultural and architectural heritage.
After checking out one of my favorite food blogs, Ono Kine Grindz, they had listed mochi creams as one of Food and Wine magazine's Top 100 Tastes to try in '08. They recently opened a mochi cream shop in Shirokiya in Ala Moana. I saw it when I was down there during Christmas '07, but me and Hugh only gave it a second glance, not wanting to pay about 2 bucks for a single mochi cream. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Ah well, something to look forward to when I go back sometime.
Oh well, to make up for that, I had to have at least one of the 100 tastes of this year. I searched if there was anything of interest, and I checked out the food trucks link. There we had Skillet, based in Seattle. I checked their site, and became amazed at their haute-cuisine, all served in a food truck of all places. I had to search for this beast of a trailer.
They open on Tuesdays in the SODO district, right next to Starbucks Headquarters. On Wednesday, they open near REI, me thinks. On Thursday, somewhere in Ballard area. Luckily I had enough time to check it out in the SODO district.
Twas fun, as I was approaching Skillet, there was this alley full of Mexican workers. As I went through the alley slowly, looking for the trailer, they started to approach me and point their finger at me. Either they wanted to help me park my car, or they wanted fo beef. Oh well, I didn't find the truck around there, so I moved along a block ahead to where Skillet was.
