“In nature, we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it.” --Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Michelangelo is well known for having said, “every block of stone has a statue inside of it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.” As much as life has driven the human race apart, we must endeavor to reach out to one another in whatever way possible. I choose to see our new normal as a marble stone that needs to be carved and chiseled. Just because we’ve been handed a brand new block of stone doesn’t mean that there isn’t something priceless and timeless inside of it waiting for us to set it free. Sculpt away, my friends. Sculpt away. And just imagine the possibilities...

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope some day you'll join us

And the world will be as one

Sonja Parfitt's most interesting photos on Flickriver

I appreciate all those lovely little insects out there, living their lives happily oblivious of our activities. Yet once in awhile we can see that perhaps it is we humans that are missing all of their artistic efforts.

I've taken some liberties with this piece of photo art. The lighthouse is of course the Low Head Lighthouse at the entrance to the Tamar River in northern Tasmania. The bronze sculpture which I call here "The Lighthouse Keeper" is in fact a piece of work by the late Irish sculptor, Jeanne Rynhart (1946-2020). I put them together because the colour palette seemed so complementary.

The bronze is in our personal collection, number 6 of just 250 of "The Old Seaman" cast at her County Cork studio. It is a delightful piece standing at 18cms high. Rynhart is most famous for the public sculpture of Molly Malone in Dublin (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molly_Malone), and of Annie Moore at Ellis Island in New York. In 1892 Annie Moore was the first immigrant to the United States to pass through federal immigrant inspection at the Ellis Island station in New York Harbor. www.history.com/news/remembering-annie-moore-ellis-island...

Sadly, Jeanne Rynhart passed away at the age of 74 just last year. www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/people/jeanne-rynhart-o...

Auke de Vries (1937) is a well known artist in the Netherlands and abroad. During his lifetime he has realized many monumental commissions.

His sculptures reflect on history and the surroundings, on the flow of rivers and the remnants of industrial areas. They can be huge, but they are always airy. It's a freestyle kind of drawing in space. However, do not underestimate the total weight and the necessary equipment. The small models in his studio have to be realized in full on shipyards and the like.

I have written about his work on several stages in life. This is a recent portrait.

It is impressive how the ocean can transform a smooth piece of driftwood into a sculpture created by nature. Every square inch of the carved surface was as individual as a fingerprint. "In every outthrust headland, in every curving beach, in every grain of sand there is the story of the earth."

Rachel Carson

This wooden cabin was originally built in 1942 by Aage Madsen.

It was used as a studio for resident sculptors at the Guild of All Arts. It was well-used but fell into disrepair, closed in the 1980s, then left unused for decades. It was restored and completed in 2019.

I found myself enchanted with the series of little holes left by dining caterpillars. It was as if they were trying to create a Swiss Cheese leaf.

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.

The Sculptor Galaxy is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor. The Sculptor Galaxy is a starburst galaxy, which means that it is currently undergoing a period of intense star formation.

I love imagining the small critters that munched their way through parts of this leaf....leaving the surface with a new look.

I've enjoyed the song lyric but this location fit the description so well, the sculpted deeply drifted snow glistened, carved by prairie winds, hidden from our eyes. I remember the bone chilly temperatures, but that light was favourable. I thought about those wolves.

January's always bitter

But Lord this one beats all

The wind ain't quit for weeks now

And the drifts are ten feet tall

I been all night drivin' heifers

Closer in to lower ground

Then I spent the mornin' thinkin'

'Bout the ones the wolves pulled down

Bertel Thorvaldsen (Copenhagen, November 17, 1770 - Copenhagen, March 24, 1844) - Hercules and Hebe - marble bas-relief height 74,5 x 75,5 cm - Biblioteca Pinacoteca Ambrosiana Milan

Considerato tra i massimi esponenti del neoclassicismo, visse in Italia e soprattutto a Roma dove si dedicò allo studio dell'antico ricevendo onori, commissioni e incarichi. Dotato di eccezionale abilità tecnica, elaborò uno stile di severa monumentalità, toccata a volte da una intima serenità.

Figlio di un intagliatore di legno islandese, dal 1781 si formò all'accademia di Copenaghen ma fu soprattutto influenzato da J. A. Carstens. Visse a lungo in Italia (1796-1838), salvo qualche soggiorno in patria, in Germania e in Polonia (1818-19). A Roma, dal 1797, si dedicò allo studio dell'antico e delle opere di A. Canova, approfondendo anche le teorie di J. J. Winckelmann e A. C. Quatremère de Quincy; dal 1811 insegnò scultura all'Accademia di San Luca, esercitando una profonda influenza sui giovani scultori italiani e stranieri.

Considered one of the greatest exponents of Neoclassicism, he lived in Italy and especially in Rome where he devoted himself to the study of antiquity, receiving honors, commissions and assignments. Equipped with exceptional technical ability, he developed a style of severe monumentality, touched at times by an intimate serenity.

Son of an Icelandic woodcarver, from 1781 he trained at the academy of Copenhagen but was mainly influenced by J. A. Carstens. He lived for a long time in Italy (1796-1838), except for some stays in his homeland, in Germany and in Poland (1818-19). In Rome, since 1797, he devoted himself to the study of antiquity and the works of A. Canova, also deepening the theories of J. J. Winckelmann and A. C. Quatremère de Quincy; since 1811 he taught sculpture at the Academy of San Luca, exerting a profound influence on young Italian and foreign sculptors.

A bronze statue by Avard Fairbanks commemorates the deaths of hundreds of Saints during the first two years in the pioneer community of Winter Quarters.

Avard Tennyson Fairbanks (March 2, 1897 – January 1, 1987) was a prolific 20th-century American sculptor. Three of his sculptures are in the United States Capitol,[1] and the state capitols in both Utah and Wyoming, as well as numerous other locations, also have his works. Possibly his most well-known artistic contribution was designing the ram symbol for Dodge

The Sculptor Galaxy (NGC 253), also know as the Silver Coin Galaxy, belongs to a group of galaxies which is one of the closest to ours. At a distance of approx. 11 million light years, and a length of nearly 70,000 light years, it occupies a swath of sky about the diameter of the full moon.

Also seen in this image is the globular cluster NGC 288. At an age of more that 10.5 billions years, it likely formed a few billion years after the Milky Way.
