Luna Parc, the private home and studio of Paterson-born artist Ricky Boscarino, is an immersive work of living art in rural Sussex County, NJ.It's not open to the public often, but Asbury Park's Suzanne Spitaletta, founder of the mighty social-media-based photography community Black Glass Gallery, arranged a tour for the group, led by Ricky's neighbor Scott on a hot and humid September Saturday.
I tried to control myself, yet took over 200 photos. Here's a shared Google folder with 70 of my photos.
Everywhere I looked there was something to see and appreciate. If only real life was like that, right?
Well, maybe it is. And maybe that's the point.
Anyway, here's a portrait of Ricky...
And here's a display of Ricky's Mom's wedding dress...
And here, on the kitchen counter, is a photo of what this formerly modest cabin looked like nearly 30 years ago when it was first purchased...
According to Scott, Ricky intends to keep adding to the property until the day he dies, and leave it to the world as his legacy.
I look forward to the photos that will be posted on Black Glass Gallery's website and Instagram feed. Meanwhile, Luna Parc's website contains much more information, so you can find a way to plan a visit for yourself.
Prepare to be overwhelmed, and enchanted.
