They really are eye shadows! You find the most unusual things to post.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't considered the eyes in the first picture, more like lemon shaped benches. Then I scrolled down...
ReplyDeleteEyes at a museum seem so appropriate. The art can readily be examined by the eye, and as a gateway to a house of art, it makes perfect sense!
I have never seen Williams, and the architecture seems classic, at a place of classical learning...
How fun are they...don't you wonder sometimes just what goes on in the mind of an artist???
ReplyDeleteWhen I went over to Hey Harriet to Mr. Linky, I spotted you, just a few blogs ahead of me. Like minds.
ReplyDeleteThe 'eyes' have it!
Peace
The hills have eyes...
ReplyDeleteLove the seat-shapes.
Aloha from Hawaii my Friend!

Great photos, I love her spiders
ReplyDeleteWoo! Those eye sculptures are almost haunting! Especially as there are so many spread around! And their shadows add a sense of mystery to them! Quite dramatic!
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I feel like someone is looking at me. :)

They're both whimsical and most definitely the opposite.. a profound and beautifully rendered mystery.
ReplyDeleteHey my friend, these are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThese are just great, so striking. I would love to spend an afternoon wandering around there!
ReplyDeleteImagine...being able to sit in an eye!
ReplyDeleteand to see it's cast shadow at the same time!
Thank you all so much. If you're following this thread, I'm inviting you to come by soon to see a post on Louise Bourgeois' life and work.
