From Joey Syta:
“Taking two years to complete, I created My Only Desire, a rendition of The Lady and the Unicorn, a famous 15th century French tapestry using only Lite-Brite materials that I acquired from eBay auctions. The work is about 5 feet tall by 6 feet wide and is made from 36 overlapping pegboards comprised of approximately 55,000 pegs.
The final viewing is this Sunday the 17th at Brooklynite Gallery, 334 Malcolm X Blvd., from 6 to 8pm.”

Sara and I want to thank everyone who have sent such kind thought to us over the last few days. As we said in emails to some of you, for us, the most important thing about the Wooster website are the amazing people that we’ve come in contact with along this journey. The last few days have brought us closer to so many of you and for this we feel very fortunate.
Again, thanks for all the wonderful messages. We’re now back in New York and slowly getting back into the swing of things. It’ll take us a while to go through all of the emails and notes so please be patient with us if we don’t respond quickly.
Warm Regards,
Marc and Sara
