Love Buttons at Lisa Sette Gallery opens a public discussion on love with wearable art

I was touched. I was humbled. And I was sold on the project.

Sale and his love agents created an opportunity for everyone who attended that night to have an experience. Though we'll have to wait until his next event to get the full experience, you can still pick up buttons at Lisa Sette Gallery (where a button cart is displayed) and take a look at Sale's related art pieces, which depict the same poetry.

Love Buttons empowers viewers and makes them comfortable enough to jump in and be part of the art. A standing ovation to Sale for his ability to edit his concept, capture the subject's complexity, and, most importantly, give up control of his creation by allowing his audience to take the idea and run with it.

The experience is an all-out exposure. In a lot of ways, we may as well have been playfully flipping up our skirts or mooning one another on that rainy Thursday night. It's an openness that is unifying, isolating, vulgar, and beautiful all at once.

And it's a spot-on portrait of love.
