It's been a while since I completed something off this list... but I'm determined to get through it this year. I only have 8 and a half months left! Granted, I only scratched off 1/2 of this one, but we're planning a trip to San Diego soon to do the other half!
"4. Visit the museums where Sean's uncle's designs are featured - the Craft and Folk Art Museum in LA and the Mingei museum in San Diego."
Preface: Sean's uncle is a designer. In the 1960s and 70s, he designed architectural fiberglass furniture and beer can furniture (his designs preceded Andy Warhol’s pop-art soup cans by about two years), as well as some very cool wind surfers, boats, etc. Some of his items are now on display at two museums in Southern California as part of Pacific Standard Time.
Sean's awesome Uncle Doug (on the sailboat he built)We recently got a chance to visit the Craft and Folk Art museum, which is showcasing one of Doug's park benches in its window. His aunt told us it was particularly awesome at night, so at night was when we went!
I can't WAIT to get down to San Diego and see the rest of his stuff! (And, of course, see Sean's aunt and uncle!)
