Hollow Men

.
Hollow Men (Pink Suit, Citygarden)

Seems like every couple of years I find a reason to quote the opening lines of St. Louisan T. S. Elliott's masterwork, The Hollow Men. I'll spare you today but only because it will be in a link I'll probably use in tomorrow's post.

This is a close-up of Edwin Wurm's Big Suit in Citygarden. The stocky pink wraith was installed two years after the venue opened. There is a post about it here with the actual color. Perhaps the black and white emphasizes the lask of a core.

All is not gray, though. I spent a couple of hours today shooting the orchid show at the Missouri Botanical Garden. Results will be on display over the next few days.

  2. This looks like it could be part of the "before and after" photos for a weight loss commercial.

  4. I liked it before and I like the detail now Bob. It's beautifully sculpted, soft and very 'material' looking if you know what I mean. Orchids you say, yay!!

  5. Perfect title.

    I love the suit in pink so in this instance b&w doesn't particularly work for me but it's always nice to re-visit old friends.
