Bored!

I stumbled across these statues a week ago in a small park close to the Art Institute in Chicago, they are by the Icelandic artist Steinunn Thórarinsdóttir. There are 26 in total and I love the way that people naturally interact with them. I took so many it was hard to narrow down which one to post.

I have posted another in my alternate album http://365project.org/ukandie1/extras/2014-08-06 and there is also one from last week there too.

I saw this big guy on the other shot too- looks like he's asking everyone's opinion bout the sculpture - cool candid shot:)

[Jessica]

Also love this one. That statue is priceless!

[Carl Thomas]

They look almost real, amazing and love the B&W composition too

[Peter Carpenter]

Can imagine a three way conversation going on not sure the statue is impressed as his body language is quite closed :-)

[Andrew]
