One Cubic Foot: Life Under the Golden Gate Bridge (installation view)
International Orange

David Liittschwager

One Cubic Foot: Life Under the Golden Gate Bridge

Continuing his One Cubic Foot series, which observes the density and diversity of life that exists within a 12-inch cube of soil, air, or sea, David Liittschwager photographed organisms found in seawater collected directly below the bridge. His pictures capture often overlooked details of the stunningly varied ecosystem that is San Francisco Bay.

In her spare moments she's grabbed some great shots of marketplaces, textiles, and more -- perfect inspiration for "Sanctuary!"
  • While you're admiring this zoomed-in look at the "Sanctuary" rug designed by Nicholas Galanin, pause for a moment to reflect on the fact that this rug was HAND KNOTTED. Hats off to the incredibly talented rug makers @alrugcom. #ArtAboutPlace #Sanctuary
