I finally got to see Philadelphia's Magic Gardens! When I saw Isaiah Zagar, 
and told him I was finally here, after following him for years, he said to me, "So you want to give me a hug, right?" And we hugged. It was kind of magical, although I am not generally a "star-struck" person. I did not go there to see him or thinking I would see him, I just wanted to experience this space.

I asked my son for three words to describe his experience. He said, "Wierd. Amazing and Scarey" (scarey was in response to some animal sticking out of the wall in the bathroom!").
He amazingly had a physical response to this space. As soon as he got there, he wanted to run about freely. Like the art, there were no rules (artistically and practically speaking), and since it is like a park, I allowed him to run about.

What an amazing space. For everybody.
$5.00 for adults, $2.00 for children under 12.
It's a school holiday. We could have watched TV. We could have gone to the mall. But we had a great experience.
I am planning to mosaic the exterior wall of my studio. Isaiah Zagar's work is an incredible inspiration!
