Ron Miriello of Miriello Grafico has embarked on an ambitious personal project to create 100 handmade sculptures based on the metaphor of the globe. The series started with him using found objects to create the first piece, then grew as he invited clients, craftsmen, photographers and designers to participate. To Ron, the globe is more than a metaphor for the world, it's a metaphor for collaboration. In his email to me, he explained the project and asked, "Are you into it?" I replied, "YEAH! Sounds like fun." I picked up Globe #16 and planned to shoot it in an open space preserve near my home. Then I noticed this beautiful early morning light streaming into a vacant unit near my studio and figured it was the perfect setting.

On February 18th the first 50 globes will go on display at the Jett Gallery located in Little Italy.
