Life in plastic

Lester and I went to Ham House in Richmond on Tuesday*. There's currently an exhibition of sculptures and sort of performance art stuff there. I'm probably a philistine but I couldn't help thinking of the Hans Anderson story "The Emperor's New Clothes" ** when I saw some of the stuff and read the explanations in the catalogue that someone insisted we take. Some of the explanations were as incomprehensible as the work itself!
I didn't understand what this woman's head on a stick was all about either but I did like it for the light effects.

*Written Thursday; still all out of sync after gallivanting, a busy weekend, and smarting from a visit to the chiropractor!

Ahhh.. So this fits under the "oh. Look. It's art." category. :-) You did catch some interesting light play there.

[Carole Imes]

Fabulous angle shot and the lighting and focus is beautiful. You captured this work of art so well.

[Claire]

That lighting is lovely

[Milanie]

Glad for the commentary - kind of agree with the "oh look, it's are" comment, but the lighting and color are marvelous. Some art work does leave me rather puzzled about the intent - this may be one.

[Jean Tookey]

Good lighting and colour. It is amazing what some people see as art. I think it sounds like an interesting exhibition if unusual.

[Netkonnexion]

Very cool. Like the translucence.

Very cool shot,great lighting!! Some 'art' isn't exactly to my taste,but each to his own!!

[Celia Leaberry Gould]

This makes a very striking shot. Looks like a large boiled sweet to me.
