    I thought that was Mexican for a moment. Quite spectacular.

    No, it's not odd...it's awful! But that's me, I really hate skulls and using them as an art objects, patterns etc.
    Sorry.
    May-be I'm so much afraid of death?

    What is this thing made out of? It is so large and colorful.

    It is a wonderful photograph and I have enjoyed it and have been trying to imagine why you were standing there in that location looking through the viewfinder and what you were thinking when you snapped the picture.

    The sculptures are of concrete. The artist is Niki de Saint Phalle (1930 - 2002).
    The figures are covered with tens of thousands of pieces of hand-cut glass and mirrors and tens of thousands of stones. De Saint Phalle personally chose the materials from all over the world - coloured glass, mirrored glass, ceramic, stones, shells.
    These photos are of sculptures in the St. Louis Botanical Garden. Several of them were accessible to children for hands-on exploration.
    See my blog for Tuesday, 24 June.

    While I don't like seeing such, I can admire the artistry of such a piece. Definitely something odd to see in a park.

    Some really unusual things end up in the art in public programs.
