(Life) Support



"Circle - 'Yakibame' (shrink fit) (C - I I)" - Sculptures by the Sea again...

What a name.
Call me old-fashioned. If it fits it sits, no need for complicated stuff or names.

These are 47 blocks of different sizes and shapes forming a cycle you have re-shaped from whichever angle you look at.
Didn´t work that well for me, but then I´m no artist.
The person in question was Tetsuro Yamasaki, in case you wanted to know.
And yes. It is handiwork indeed.
I should know, I worked with my hands, too. I even soldered, I even had to turn hard metal into one with which you could work with. Wood, did that.
Still, this piece. Hmm... Guess I´m just an ordinary engineer ;-)



Maybe I need some "life support" instead!
This piece of art is by Karl Meyer and it tries to show the changing relationship we have with the natural environment.



The blonde man lying there sure knows life, no.

This is life support - relaxing.
We hurry too much, I did. Ingo does, you do, too?
Is it worth it?

The weather is getting sunnier, warmer, I wanted to head on but Bro ...
He means well but has a talent to make my life crazy.
Little Brothers turn into bosses over the years, huh ;-)

A new start today and with one thing he is right: meds are nothing for me (and I hear Ingo screaming "I told you so!")
Wish me luck, I need some "life support" ;-)
(I do know others are off way worse).

Both statues are nice, although the Life support is more artistic.

I agree with you, Sami.
The ocean and that buoy are lovely, though, too.

I love the artwork but find in general find artistic descriptions a lot of pompous twaddle. I know they have to write stuff like that to be part of the art scene but I don't have to read it or bother with it to enjoy their creativity.

Iris Flavia said...

I agree, partially. Sometimes I´m too "dumb" and the explanation might give an "aha-moment". And sometimes not ;-)
I´m not an artist, what do I know...

Cool sculptures and I like your interpretations too!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, well, it´s the artist´s originally... (The life support I do need, though;-)...)

Life Support suits me.

Jeanie said...

I need life support these days. In more ways than one! Love the statue!

Iris Flavia said...

William, yes!

Oh, Jeanie, I know...

Made me smile Iris, I remember how you just couldn't get the concept of lying on the beach to relax. Do you remember me saying to you 'we're very laid back in Perth' 😀😀

All I need is time, Grace ;-)
