Balancing Blonde
I've had this photo of a sculpture on the grounds of the Shemer Art Center for about a year but, I hadn't posted it because I didn't know who the sculptor was. I finally found out last week that it was created by James Farris an artist and sculptor from Tempe Arizona.
She always makes me think of Marilyn Monroe whenever I see her on the grounds of the museum.
James Farris passed away in December of 2010 but I think this sculpture has only been at the museum for about two years. It makes me wonder how it made its way to the Shemer. I'll have to ask a few more questions when I get the chance.
I'm a bit like you. If I shoot something and can't find the info I think I need the photo often stays unpublished. Nicely photographed.
ReplyDeleteShe certainly looks like Marilyn, very realistic sculpture.
