INSIGHT + POLYHEDRA

 

That's the name of this installation at the Patterns In Nature show at the Missouri Botanical Garden. Insight perhaps because you can go into the form on the right. (One at a time, please.) Waiting for a turn adds something to the image.                   

FLOATING IN AIR

 

This work, which I think is called Point of View, appears to be suspended over a gentle, sphere-like fountain.  However, it is inside a gazebo and suspended by a cable from the roof. The photo preserves the illusion.                     

HYBYCOZO

 

Change of scene to another St. Louis institution. The gorgeous Missouri Botanical Garden often has outdoor exhibits of special sculpture or lighted seasonal displays. Through this summer and into next month there has been a show called Patterns In Nature - The Art of HYBYCOZO, https://www.hybycozo.com/. Its website doesn't explain the name. We waited for a cooler day to check it out. This piece at the entrance is called Escher. I can sort of see the step figures but not the up-down-left-right warping of the Dutch artist.                            

PATTERNS IN NATURE

 

A little while ago I had a series of posts about an outdoor sculpture show at the Missouri Botanical Garden of work by a group called HYBYCOZO. The structures all have lights within and a few nights a week the public is invited to see the result. They call this version Patterns In Nature. Lots of dramatic shots but this is a good start.                     

WOMEN PAINT, TOO

 

But there were not many of them. Interpret as you will. Note that the artist has a conventional small paint brush in her right hand to lay in detail. No spray can. Also, this shot was framed to feature the artist. The figure on the right is wearing a Palestinian head scarf. It's below the crop, but she is holding an automatic weapon. I got a picture of the whole panel when I went back a week later.
