Storm King




The Summer MFA Students went to New York to Storm King to see the amazing sculpture on display. Wow! What amazing work. Here is a small posting of some of the amazing work.

This first powerful piece was made up of hundreds of these metal pipes in an elaborate arrangement. The artist, Leurs is well known for his unusual use of ordinary material. Next time you have a free moment look him up, Sprin K. Leurs.

The second piece I want to mention is a special Zen Garden on display. It uses modern stone gravel arranged with whitened stones in a very rhythmic pattern. The stone is regularly rolled to keep the integrity of the level surface. Much time should be spent here meditating on the patterns created by these uniquely whitened lines.
