Ron Miriello, of Barrio Logan based branding firm Miriello Grafico, is launching his 100 Worlds Project with a proper opening February 18, 2011 at Jett Gallery in Little Italy (San Diego). The exhibition features 100 globes sculpted meticulously from salvaged and unexpected materials.

Ron describes his motivation: To me, the globe is more than a metaphor for the world, it’s a metaphor for collaboration. What began as a project of using found objects around me to construct the first piece, grew into a series. The series grew as I invited people to participate and contribute to create more globes. It’s been a magnet for creative collaboration with clients, craftsmen, photographers and designers…all who have become a part of the 100 Worlds project creative community.

We’re looking forward to perusing the results of this collaborative craftsmanship. The exhibition will be up through March 26, 2010.
