At Long Last : Ron Mueck

Finally! We braved the crowds to see the Ron Mueck exhibit at the GoMA. The smartest thing we've done in a long time - arrive when the gallery opened at 9 AM. Highlights/thoughts. (Everything has to be done quickly these days!)

This is THE SCARIEST THING I've seen. Maybe EVER. YEEEUCH.

She's still our favorite.

The scale is sometimes oversized and sometimes undersized. The detail captured by Mueck in these pieces is astounding. Here. Have a look.

What I liked most was trying to get a photo (and I'm not suggesting I was very successful at it - it was mostly a mental exercise..."wouldn't it be neat") of people "interacting" with these very lifelike creations.

Things have been busy...

July has sped by. Primarily thanks to a very good, successful trip to the US! Two weeks - one in Texas visiting with friends and family and one (short) in Ohio in Versailles. Thank you to everyone who has managed to maintain any interest in this blog as it has become so very much unreliable...and will likely remain that way for the foreseeable future. And, probably beyond that.

I'm tired now and it is almost 9 PM. My reasonable self suggests I close the book on July and except for posting some photos, I will listen to this woman. She's getting older...must make her wiser.
