The Vision Thing

Laumeier Sculpture Park 2014-07-20 7

The phrase was coined by someone else, but here it is, in your face, a mote in your eye bigger than your whole body. Tony Tasset's Eye is the must-have-a-snap sculpture for visitors to Laumeier Sculpture Park. However, it's something you need to think about for a while. The description on the park's website (click the link) is a bit of art babble. Better if you can sit by it and consider the associations that come from this disembodied organ, 12 feet / 3 2/3 meters in diameter. I think it's terribly creepy.

T#is looks like something you would see on the wall in an eye doctor's office.

I think it's quite disconcerting!

The eyeball part is creepy. But the universe within the iris is compelling. Windows of the soul, etc.
