This sculpture entitled 'Seated' is on show outside the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill from 19th April - 29th October 2023.
It is by Tschabalala Self and she says "Taking a seat is a universal act of leisure and calm. I wanted to create a monumental sculpture for the public that spoke to this simple joy. The woman is strong, beautiful and self-possesses. She represents all individuals, but women in particular, who understand the power and importance of simple gestures that assert their right to take up space." (2022).
Tschabalala Self was born in 1990 and is an American artist
Tschabalala Self's first public sculpture stands three metres high and is made from patinated bronze. This monumental work was an everyday object - a seat - as an entry point for questions of permission and performance within public space. Its subject - poised, immaculately dressed, glancing to her left - emboldens onlooks to sit with confidence and comfort.
Through an expansive practice bringing together painting, printmaking, sculpture and collage, Self's depictions, predominantly of women, traverse different artistic traditions. Bland and femme bodies are particularly prevalent in her work, heating different subjects, or characters, with individual and powerful identities, many of which are reimagined from chance encounters. Through mediations on race and gender, Self's work is concerned with what it means to flourish as a human and how the self is performed and perceived within contemporary life.

For the theme, "Reflection in a Knife," I thought it would be appropriate to have a reflection of a piece by M.C. Escher (1898-1972) in which his left hand (below) is drawing the sleeve of his right hand which is drawing the sleeve of the left hand!
This piece is named, "Drawing Hands" (Tekenen; Zeichnen; Dessiner). Escher was a Dutch graphic artist who brought 3 dimensional-like drawings to 2 dimensional surfaces.
He is famously known for popularizing an "impossible" triangle
(Penrose triangle) with 3 right angles, the principle of which he uses in some of his graphics.
Many of his graphics reflect an illusionary and impossible-like quality which begs the viewer to study them carefully and timelessly.

Guess I'll just keep posting what I like and ignore the professionals!

As with many of his works, 'Filter' is based on a life-sized cast of Gormley's own body. The construction from welded steel rings lets us see right through to the sculpture's 'heart'. It hangs by a single cable above the central staircase at Manchester Art Gallery. See it being installed here.
I've been looking forward to taking some photos of this since it arrived and today I finally got the chance. It's tricky to find an angle where the architecture of the gallery doesn't intrude so in the end I decided to work with it rather than against it.
More photos below...
“Dream talks about the necessity of love and be loved of the human beings. That hole that we have that we try to fill with the other person. So we Dream with our need to feel love and to give love… and we feel the absence of the other.”
Dreams is a re-boot of one of the central pieces of my art installation Dream, which also is the brand image of E.V.E, now released for The Season Story.

I am struggling with the title so any suggestions are welcome.
Just wanted to share with you that my street markets submission was chosen for review by Camera Club at the Guardian website. So i am happy today:-)
as you can see clearly here, so she'll do double duty for Web Wednesday and Arachtober. 😊 She's hanging head down, in contrast to yesterday's orbweaver. I was super psyched to find one of these while vacationing in Savannah with my dad in September! It has been a few years since I saw one, as they don't live where I live. I didn't realize they made it north as far as Georgia. I pointed her out to my dad and we admired her - then I found another, and another! In all, maybe around 10. It wasn't until I was home looking at the photos that I spotted the little males in some of them - you can see him above her, making a careful approach. Good luck, little dude!
Silk from a cousin species from Madagascar was used to make a golden cape. How incredible is that!

The tower, with its glittering facade meant to evoke Van Gogh’s painting Starry Night, will be the literal high point of a new “creative campus” called Luma Arles, a multidisciplinary art and culture complex sprawling over 27 acres at the Parc des Atéliers.
At the base of the tower is a vast steel and glass rotunda, also by Gehry, nicknamed the Drum, a structure he said was inspired by the city’s noted Roman amphitheatre.
