I'm still thinking about Western Washington's campus that we toured on Monday.(Here are my cute tour-ee's)
The majority of Western's campus is much 'younger' than the UW and more modern in feel. There's lots of brick put to great use - both on the buildings and in the walkways. And apparently one of the things Western is known for is its extensive modern-outdoor-sculpture collection.
I've always been an unapologetic representational sort of artist. And while there is some abstract art that I appreciate (like local friend/artist Angela Wales Rockett), some of it, especially three-dimensional forms can leave me absolutely mystified...
(this piece is nick-named 'the Giant Orange Mosquito')
Stairs...to nowhere....?
Pieces of a wooden-beam pyramid...
Partial, holey cube.. (I do like this one - but it's something I can name..)
But this one... why???
And this big steel rectangular thing...?? Sculpture? I really don't get it.
