She is a "dilute" calico, so the areas where Gracie Jo has soft orange markings appear almost white.
(I am submitting this for the "Happy Caturday" theme of photos in black and white.)
Sans rapport avec la photo précédente, ce remarquable "semis" de chardons nous prévient que le chemin du sommet sera semé de quelques obstacles.
The works of sculptor Jo Hess are found throughout the U.S. in sculpture parks, gardens, airports and private homes.
Although she completed many commissions in the form of busts and life-size portrait sculptures, her personal favorite pieces were those which represented the beauty and grace she saw in her home town of Mobile, Alabama.
This sculpture is titled ‘Flora’. It is a life-size figure of a young woman kneeling in her garden. Editions of ‘Flora’ are found in several sculpture parks throughout the U.S., as well as in museum gardens and in private collections. It is Jo Hess’ signature piece.

Artiste : David Ruben Piqtoukun
Titre : Grandfather Akwesasne
Date : 1999
Matériau : pierre (granite)
Origine de l’artiste : Inuk, né à Paulatuk (T.N.-O.), ayant grandi entre traditions inuites et culture du Sud. Piqtoukun est reconnu pour ses sculptures qui unissent : mythes inuits, histoires personnelles et réflexion sur le passage entre les mondes culturels
Dans cette œuvre, les lignes gravées évoquent à la fois : des trajets, des mémoires inscrites dans la matière, des forces invisibles qui circulent entre passé et présent.
Le titre invoque la figure du grand-père – non seulement un ancêtre familial, mais une présence symbolique : celui qui porte le savoir, la continuité, la survivance.
Placée dehors, soumise au vent, à la neige et aux saisons, la sculpture devient elle-même un être vivant dans le paysage. L’hiver, la neige agit presque comme un voile rituel qui révèle certaines lignes et en cache d’autres.
Artist: David Ruben Piqtoukun
Title: Grandfather Akwesasne
Date: 1999 Material: stone (granite)
Origin of the artist: Inuk, born in Paulatuk (NWT), having grown up between Inuit traditions and Southern culture. Meaning and reading Piqtoukun is recognized for his sculptures which unite: inuit myths personal stories reflection on the passage between cultural worlds.
In this work, the engraved lines evoke both: journeys, memories inscribed in matter, invisible forces that circulate between past and present.
The title invokes the figure of the grandfather – not only a family ancestor, but a symbolic presence: the one who carries knowledge, continuity, survival.
Placed outside, subject to the wind, snow and seasons, the sculpture itself becomes a living being in the landscape. In winter, snow acts almost like a ritual veil that reveals certain lines and hides others.

Ce masque aux rides profondes, aux yeux rieurs et à la machoire articulée figure l’un des plus anciens personnages du nô, Okina. Ce personnage matérialise l’incarnation d’un dieu dans le corps d’un vieillard, Hakushiki-jô ; ce dieu âgé et souriant symbolise la paix et tient toujours le rôle principal dans les pièces d’Okina. Dès le XIIᵉ siècle, la danse du vieillard garantissait la longévité humaine et l’abondance des récoltes. L’origine des masques okina remonte aux représentations des troupes du sarugaku et du dengaku, avant l’apparition du nô. Ils étaient également utilisés dans les prières et célébrations rituelles. Les plus anciens masques okina constituent des objets sacrés conservés dans des temples.
Celui-ci je l'ai trouvé, pendant mon voyage au Japon, dans un petit magasin tenu par un vieux couple qui semblait lui-même sortir d'une représentation de Théatre Nô
This mask with deep wrinkles, laughing eyes and an articulated jaw represents one of the oldest noh characters, Okina. This character materializes the incarnation of a god in the body of an old man, Hakushiki-jô; this elderly and smiling god symbolizes peace and always plays the main role in Okina's plays. As early as the 12th century, the old man's dance guaranteed human longevity and abundant harvests. The origin of okina masks dates back to the representations of sarugaku and dengaku troupes, before the appearance of noh. They were also used in prayers and ritual celebrations. The oldest okina masks are sacred objects kept in temples.
This one I found, during my trip to Japan, in a small store run by an old couple who themselves seemed to have just come out of a Noh Theater performance.
