Abstract for ODC
This is the ceiling as viewed from the bridge on the top floor of SFMOMA.
We went to the Cindy Sherman exhibition and it was fabulous! I am so inspired and haven't felt this excited since the Francesca Woodman one a few months ago. Now I just need to get some wigs and work on a few self portrait ideas that involve a baby as a prop :P

Claes Oldenburg (1929- ) is one of the most popular sculptors alive today. He joined the pop-art movement in the 1960's and has created a series of large-scale sculptures of everyday items like toothpaste, hamburgers and, this apple core. In 1976 Oldenburg began collaborating with the the Dutch artist Coosje van Bruggen (1942-2009). This work of theirs, created in 1992 and currently on exhibit at San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), has been described as showing how modern consumers are focused on materiality and lack consideration for nature.

The bridge across the turret atrium at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMoMA) is a fascinating architectural structure, in addition to being the home for a large collection of modern art, including that in the possession of the museum and addition work that travels there for exhibits. Since the recent remodel and expansion, the facility combines two components, the newer galleries and the shorter original building with its central open area. This atrium is the most prominent element of that space, extending from the ground floor to the iconic rounded skylight feature.
A pedestrian bridge crosses the upper reaches of the atrium. Its semi-transparent floor provides a bit of excitement — or terror! — for visitors who have the courage to look straight down. I'm fascinated by visual elements of the bridge and the space it inhabits, with light spilling down into the atrium's well from that round skylight to flow over and around the curves and angles of the structure.
