Thursday, June 05, 2003 Sensual Art By Diana Hsieh @ 8:44 PM I just posted this to the SOLO Forum: I was recently in Taos, New Mexico perusing some art galleries and museums with my parents. Unfortunately, much was the usual *#$^@% of modern art, but we did run across some interesting work by an artist by the name of Ray Wiger. He creates sculptures of the human body in wire mesh. The figures themselves are beautiful -- particularly with the strong lines and shadows created by the semi-three-dimensionality of the wire mesh. The photos from his web site don't quite capture the sensual feel of the art, but they do give some idea: http://www.raywiger.com/ Of course, my tastes in art are purely my own... but I'd be interested in the reactions of others. It seems like a case in which an unusual medium actually served a purpose. Reactions? Link / Noodles / Trackback I'm Baaaack! By Diana Hsieh @ 2:54 PM Yesterday, I returned from three days of vacation with my folks who are RV'ing through the southwest. As usual, they showed me an excellent time -- although I'm a bit sunburnt and my calves are sore from a trek up and down an awesome 800' canyon (at the intersection of the Red River and Rio Grande outside of Toas, New Mexico). It was pure bliss to be wholly separated from my computer and any philosophy work, particularly after my grueling schedule of 84 hours of writing in 12 days to revise my paper on philosophy of mind. (It's a great paper though, with many good arguments, some of which may even be true! I'll post it next week.) I'll be getting my life organized over the next few days before heading to LA for a very quick business trip for iHealer, a most beloved programming client. (Yes, I still have a few of those!) Then I'll be returning to work as usual, including a bit of blogging, of course! Link / Noodles / Trackback
