Just checking to see if the lighting is good enough for our close-up on... our excellent taste in interior design. Yup, looks great. 😉

Holding Hands

Two hands intertwined, fingers gently clasped together as a couple watches the festivities unfold around them. The simple act of holding hands in public, something many take for granted, becomes a quiet celebration of love and belonging at Cork Pride.

While this year’s event was smaller than last year’s celebration (perhaps due to the absence of Eurovision star Bambie Thug, or simply the rising costs of travel), the energy remained undimmed. The parade began on Grand Parade before winding its way down St. Patrick Street, with dozens of people proudly carrying a massive pride flag that rippled in the hot, humid afternoon air.

After the parade, the community gathered at Kennedy Quay for the traditional after-party, where the real magic happened. Gay men danced together in the summer heat, some bare-chested, others waving colorful fans as they laughed and moved to the music. Same-sex couples like the one in this photograph stood hand in hand, watching the celebration with quiet contentment, expressing their love openly in a space where they felt safe to do so. These moments, the dancing, the hand-holding, the unguarded laughter, show exactly why Pride events are needed now more than ever.

The laughter, the energy, and the community were all so beautifully, defiantly joyful.

More photos from Cork Pride coming tomorrow.

From the Glass Art Society closing party last night- I got 99 people to hold hands and complete the circuit to activate our "Your Magic Is Real" sculpture! Alicia Eggert was there and was excited- me too- what a fun time!

Its crazy just how far a 3 or 5 volt signal can go- but I guess people really are a lot of conductive water. I am wondering how we can find the theoretical maximum amount of people holding hands to activate the sculpture? Could we perhaps get it to a music festival or something? Coachella? We might need more neon :)

The conference was so fun! Nice to connect with so many old friends - and meet so many new ones! Future apologies to everyone's name that I will forget and have already forgotten ;)

I guess I have emails to send now...

Your Magic Is Real installed in Arlington, #Texas !

Phew, on Monday evening, this was installed in NYC, and now, Thursday evening it is installed in Texas. In 2 days we deinstalled it, and drove over 1,500 miles in a box truck before installing it in Texas in a day! I even remade the "U" in "YOU" after it broke in transit! I still cannot believe we did that! None of it possible without the amazing teams we had on both ends.

Officially, this piece takes a week to do this, but in this way, Urbanglass could have it for its big fundraiser gala, AND it could be installed for the Glass Art Society conference this year in Texas. The Arts institution admins won't ever see this post ;) -they are too busy scrolling reels.

Your Magic Is Real (made in collaboration with Marco, Jason, and Alicia Eggert) opens at the Arlington Museum of Art in Texas tomorrow evening- alongside the De La Torre brothers- I am so excited!
