DeCordova

Here are some pictures from a visit that we took to the DeCordova museum back in May during my mom's visit. We had some really nice weather, so it was fun to spend time outside looking at the sculpture. By the way, the museum has apparently now changed its name from the "DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park" to the "DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum". 

 This piece has always been one of my favorites. Yes, it does look as though someone's internal organs have gotten up and gone for a walk, but I still like it:

This next sculpture was an especially odd one. The "rust" on the surface is just a thin layer-- it's apparently made of fiber glass and other composites underneath. Also interesting was that inside the museum was a computer monitor showing an animated version of the sculpture with the various appendages walking/waving around. Very creative.

There was also a very extensive collection of sculptures (indoor and out) by Chakaia Booker. Her work uses a lot of recycled/repurposed tires, which gives it a very distinctive look.
