Desperate for material as usual (exploring new dimensions in overwork this week), this is the flip side of yesterday's photo, taken from the outside.I haven't shot this work so close before. There is a gentle slope covered with water in front of it. This time I decided what the heck, stand in the water. It's only a couple of centimeters deep. I had not noticed the crosshatch texture of the surface or the hole over the left eye. The blankness of the eyes jumps out but is that a hint of a smile? This is a mysterious work of art.
une belle dormeuse...vraiment elle est belle cette statue
ReplyDeleteGreat "outside-in" duo. Interesting you posted yesterday's in bw but left today's in rgb. I suppose all sorts of Freudian interpretations could be attached to these two images.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you've reached new heights in the "overwork" dept. -:)
That hollow stare still makes me slightly ununeasy, but I like the close up so that the variations of color are apparent. Standing in water for a shot. Thatta boy!!!

Monsieur Crowe, I left you a smarty answer on Victor's comments.
ReplyDeletecentimetres? STLDP appears to have gone metric.
ReplyDeleteCanada has been metric for 30 years and I still can't tell how many centimetres in an inch without looking it up.
Despite the cold and eerie eyes, I like this statue. Hope you didn't catch a cold.
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to lose perspective, but don't worry. This is a great, I wish we had some great public art. I'm jealous.
ReplyDeleteThis and yesterday's are fantastic. What stunning work and so beautifully photographed. Love the colours, the patina. Fascinating art.
ReplyDeleteThis is a stunning photograph Bob. The colors are subtle but luminescent at the same time. I need lessons from you:)
