Last spring I decided to start walking to work a few times a week, just to enjoy the neighborhood and clear my head before the day begins. In the spirit of trying to expand the scope of my letterpress blog I’m going to document my morning walk here from time to time. Mostly because I love the neighborhoods between my home and the studio (park slope, gowanus, carroll gardens, cobble hill and brooklyn heights)
So with the break in the weather yesterday I walked to work for the first time in a while and stumbled upon a delightful surprise – a new installation by Brooklyn artist Pasqualina Azzarello. I first saw her work about 3 years ago when she painted the outside fence of a construction site in dumbo, but this time she’s tackled a site by the Gowanus Canal.
I just love this, and would like to say thanks to Pasqualina for giving me a reason to walk again tomorrow.
Loved the post. Trying to activate Walk to Work with our Client brasher Boots (www.brasher.co.uk).
Keep up the good stuff.

This is fantastic! Looking forward to other things you find.
Would like to point you toward a book called “Outside Lies Magic” by John Stilgoe – he’s a professor at Harvard who teaches very non-standard courses in observation.
I think you will LOVE it.
