Art on a walk with the dog

The most beautiful, meditative part of my day is walking with my dog, Taylor. This is art we saw along the way...

The Spectacular of Vernacular

Mike Kelley, More Love Hours Than Can Ever Be Repaid, 1987 The title of this piece says everything. The tapestry of stuffed animals and afghans is cozy, nostalgic, and tremendously loved. This realistic sense of space was an interesting twist for Mr Marshall's work. The glitter net and lounge suit on one of the passengers are of particular interest to me, being a fan of both. Lari Pittman, A Decorated Chronology of Insistence and resignation, 1994 I love Lari Pittman's claustrophobic, colorful, controlled chaos of paintings. They look like improv jazz. This one went a step further into the realm of craft and included swaths of glitter. Marc Swanson, Untitled (Looking Back Buck) 2004 This piece was fabulous. I wish I could find a good image of the stacked antlers he made as well. I was verbally spanked for photographing in the gallery by one of the room attendants. The photo that got me in trouble was blurry anyway.
