I will have to admit, SculptureWalk has turned into a great public art display. After I publicly needled the organization about a proper jury process, and they made the changes, (but not before skewering me in the media) the exhibit has gotten more diverse and interesting. The first few years were a bunch of hokey religious and wildlife themed art, but once they brought in a GENUINE jury, the exhibit got great.
A few years back there was a piece that I think sits at Cherapa II that looks identical to a bull penis. So this year this ‘bird’ sculpture kinda reminds you of a Georgia O’Keeffe painting, if yah know what I mean. It is a beautiful piece, but I’m not seeing birds. But maybe the whole point of the piece is to connect the birds on an emotional level? Maybe I am thinking to much about this since the heart shaped cut-outs almost make the piece sappy and corny. One of my friends said it looked like a plant pod, and I responded, “Sure and I’m the spitting image of Matt Damon.”
Georgia was asked once in a documentary about her flower paintings in 1976, “Did some people find sexual symbolism in your flowers?” And Georgia responded, “They were talking about themselves and not me.” Subjectivity, a wonderful thing. So enjoy the birds, the plant pod, or whatever this beautiful piece is. The mystery is what makes great art. I would be thrilled if this piece won people’s choice. But please, please, please, place it next to the bull penis sculpture.
Diaphragm, anyone? 🙂
This is obviously a holely leaf because of what it has weathered both by nature and man, and then its turned and controlled by the tentacles of mans industrialization and modernization which puts in question nature’s future, it’s freedom, and the never-ending bend to the whims of mans destruction of our planet, which can only be resolved by the “spring” reaction of nature which can no longer handle the manipulation of mans creations at the expense of nature and us all, which will then free us from ourselves, and then in so doing, will free nature as well.
“Wow, I could use some good shxt after that description”….
Cut it through the hearts, add hinges, and make it the swing open entrance into Romantix.
that reminds me of the raymond episode, when marie does the vagina sculpture. how did this make it past paster poops?
He thought they said, Virgin Mary sculpture, and then he signed off on it. 🙂
I thought it was an up close and personal view of Corey’s girl after she sheds her Homeland Security cosplay outfit (and 20 pounds of makeup and extensions).
Scott H., I bet he makes her wear that “Hot Cops” ICE outfit all the time at home…. #ArrestMeBaby! #TellMeIDontBelongHere! #PutMeInYourElSalvadoranCell! #LayMeDownOnAHardColdStainlessSteelPrisonBed! #ShaveMyHead&TellMeIAmWorthless! #YouDoMyCavatiesBetterThanMyDentist! #ProcessMeThenDeportMe!
