The Whale and the Whale Ornament

Posted October 23rd, 2016 by Ms. Jen & filed under art + photography.

Sun 10.23.16 – This morning I went to Paige H’s baby shower at her parent’s house. Her mother had the best whale sculpture with a whale ornament in its mouth on the living room’s fireplace mantle. It was lit in such a way to both reveal the whale sculpture and create mystery.

This made me very happy.

Three Squares Gyratory at The Getty Center

Posted October 8th, 2011 by Ms. Jen & filed under art + photography, photos + text from the road.

Fri 10.07.11 – Erika and I went to the Getty Center to see the Pacific Standard Time exhibit and we walked out to the Gardens to see the sculpture. I video’d George Rickey’s “Three Squares Gyratory” as it looks unwieldy but the squares moved surprisingly well in little wind. It was lovely and peaceful.

The LA Times reports on Venus figurine sheds light on origins of art by early humans : A 40,000-year-old figurine of a voluptuous woman carved from mammoth ivory and excavated from a cave in southwestern Germany is the oldest known example of three-dimensional or figurative representation of humans and sheds new light on the origins of art… The intricately carved headless figure is at least 5,000 years older than previous examples and dates from shortly after modern humans arrived in Europe. But it already exhibits many of the characteristics of fertility figurines carved millenniums later.
