Here are two more sculptures from the Whispers of a New World Exhibit going on at the Desert Botanical Garden. The top one makes me think of chili peppers.
This one makes me think of a scorpion.
This exhibit will be at the garden until May of next year. That gives you plenty of time to make your way to the garden to check out these other-worldly sculptures.
You really make such good use of the photo possibilities at the Desert Botanical Garden.
ReplyDeleteThe first photo looks like two chilis and an ear of corn.
ReplyDeleteChilli peppers for sure the first one Sharon, but the first thing that came into my head when I saw the second was.....dragonfly!!
ReplyDeleteYou know, every year I say I am going to go to the Garden at Christmastime and I never do. It's on my list AGAIN!
ReplyDeleteThe first picture reminds me of drying umbrellas, probably due to all the rain we have had in the UK this summer!
ReplyDeleteSuch unusual sculptures. It's strangely organic looking.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and how organic these sculptures are.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought these are umbrellas :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, Sharon!
I like them - wish I was there to tour the garden in person!
ReplyDeleteI love the thought of a polka-dotted chili pepper!
ReplyDeleteStrange stuff growing here! I go along with the chili peppers thing, but the thing in the bottom photo reminds me of those big horns they blow in the Alps...you know, like in Sound of Music! :-)
ReplyDeleteFascinating- yup, I get chilli peppers and a scorpion too.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to look at these pieces and put your own ideas into them.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if Tracy and I both put that trip at Christmastime on our list, we'll finally make it. I agree with your interpretations of both pieces of art. Especially the scorpion. I wish we had ran into you downtown on Saturday! What fun that would have been.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Sharon. These aren't for me.
ReplyDeleteVery original!
ReplyDeleteI have Whispers in the Trees art exhibit at Dawes Arboretum right now at Dawes Arboretum in Newark, OH. I was hoping to put together an exhibit for this dessert arboretum but great minds think a like. Thank you for keeping me informed. Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
