Night at the Museum

So last weekend I went on a date to the Springville Museum of Art. Let me tell you, it was a blast! It is so refreshing to be in an art museum! It is like a step out of your own monotonous life into the imagination and creativity of someone else's mind. Art always makes me think about what is important to me, which begs the question:

If I were to express my thoughts/ideas/life in visual form, how would they look?

Well, I guess I am still working on that, but is the meantime, here are some of the gems of the trip.

You can't see the top of this one, but it looks a little like a drop of water. Very cool idea. Plus, my face looks good in it. :)

This one is called Light-Spring. It is very neat because the stone it is made out of is translucent, so you can see light shining through it on the thinner parts. It also have reallt impressive detail all around it, which you can't really see. Haveing attempted stone carving myself, and knowing how rediculously difficult it is, I am just in awe of this piece!


Ok, this is a distorted view of a stamp. On the other side of the room they have the artists depiction of how the stamp actually looks. It was very cool to be able to see the same picture in two completely different styles. Oh yeah, and this is Zach Workman. He took me out to the museum. He is totally awesome. ;)

The ultimate Gem of the trip; what I like to call the "Kissy Poster." Just in case it is too hard to read, this is what it says: "Good-Night Kiss of Sunlight with King Sol and Princess Loafer illustrating One Hour of Poetic and Romantic Love." I don't really know why I get such a kick out of this, but I really do! Probably "Princess Loafer" and "Poetic and Romantic Love." Just so funny!

Well, now that I have given you just a small sample of what lies int he Museum, what are you waiting for? A land of art and imagination awaits you! If you do go, visit the lower level gallery - my brother-in-law has two pieces there. So go, and have yourself an adventure!
