Friday Photo: Falling

Posted on November 18, 2011 by

Sometimes as I’m moving around in my day, an image gets stuck in my head that I can’t shake. Sometimes it conjures up a memory, a feeling, or provides an impulse to do something. Often, though, I just see something that I want to capture in my mind for no particular reason-it just speaks to me. I’d like to offer these images up for ‘thought contributions’-as a way to generate a community of ideas together.

This week’s Friday Photo was taken on our local university in front of one of my favorite places: the library.  These sculptures, The Eggheads, are sprinkled around campus, each symbolizing a particular aspect of college life.  The artist, Robert Arneson, believed that his art should embody economic, social and political commentary-and this Egghead does just that for me.  My brain is so full these days, nearly every night I fall asleep in this Bookhead position!

What would a sculpture look like of you these days ?
