  • #washingtondc #nationalgalleryofart #sculpture #garden As a metalsmith I'm frequently drawn to metal objects, usually, small-scale, usually jewelry, but how could I not love this? It's so strange. The dichotomy of the incredible realism in the flow and form of the "tree-ness" and the industrial purity of the brilliant polish of the metal is a extraordinary. Go see it!

  • Images from the temple by David Best and the Temple Crew at the #Renwick. Best has built/designed/coordinated roughly half of the temples at Burning Man since 2000. The center of the room had a table with blank ~2x2 tablets of wood you could write someone's name on as a remembrance and leave at an altar, which many, many people had done. #washingtondc #smithsonian #burningmanart #davidbest #temple #renwickgallery
  • The Oculus dominating the foyer in the National Gallery of Art. Only had about an hour before having to leave for my flight. In that too short amount of time I was able to see 2 Vermeers and some Dutch 17th c. still lifes, an artist and genre among my top faves. #washingtondc #nationalgallery #museum #classicalarchitecture #vermeer #dutchstilllife

I take strange photos and post them here. Sometimes they are even about metals.
