Figment

It's amazing how much I saw in one day, by myself, and how much art can be found on Gov's Island. It was definitely hard to pick out my top fav photos, but then I realized I should probably just jam all the photos up on here, scrapbook and journal styled.

My day started off with biking over to Dumbo on my ancient rusty old Toys R Us bicycle. We made a pitstop along the way at Baked in Brooklyn to grab some bread and cake, I practically smelled it from 3 blocks away. Obviously we ran late for the Flavorpill Yoga in the Park event and had some trouble finding the actual spot, but we made it for the last 20 or so minutes after locking up! People were throwing out their free mats so I snagged a purple one home. As a matter of fact, it's right next to me on the floor as I'm typing :P. My friend had to ditch after, but I stuck around to catch the last weekend of the Figment art installations on Governor's Island. And I was glad I went!

This is the most popular one on the island. This guy looked pretty happy picking lady liberty's nose.

 "Nowhere to Sit" piece. I sat on it.

 This treehouse was pretty fun to climb up and walk around. I'd definitely live in it if rain was not a problem.

 There was also mini golf available.

These were some of the other figment pieces which included an outdoor wood library, a giant TV box starring you, a skeletal house, and big giant eagle wings made out of branches.

 I went all around the island capturing shots of these abstract sculptures, couldn't not check all of them off if I was already there. Exhausted at this point.

 There was also a little shop on the island with cool screenprinted items and wearables inside.

 I spotted and walked around this old prisoner building – apparently there are guided tours avail, but I was too late for that by the time I got here.

 The best reward was stuffing my face at Veronica's Kitchen food truck, for some oxtail, sweet yam, and mac+cheese. All while sitting on a rocking chair with my shoes finally off. It was a good day.
