Wordless Wednesday: Just Art

I have sat in traffic outside the Superior Court in Waterbury, Connecticut, and admired these gigantic metal sculptures for a long time. Instead of staring, I took a picture.

    Wow, how big are they? We have sculptures dotted through our city strrets (Wellington NZ) and my girls love to see them and touch them. Perhaps I will use them for a WW, thanks for the idea!

  6. I must have missed them the last time I was up there fighting my speeding ticket. Hopefully I won't have to go again and can just enjoy them through your lovely photos.

    Happy WW!

  8. They are beautiful and unusual, Sandy! Are they made of metal? Do they remind you in some way of grafitti? :)

  13. Good questions, Mary! You must be an awesome teacher. These are metal sculptures. I took the pictures Sunday morning when the light was soft. When I rounded the corner of the building, I noticed the pattern of tree branches on the windows created another version of these images. I wondered if the sculptor was inspired by tree tops.

    It does make me think of graffiti. Both are abstractions displayed on walls!

    I was thinking of how nice it is that a public building is host to such work. Courthouses can be intimidating; it's nice this one calls us to remember something fine in ourselves as we drive by or pass through the doorway.

  14. I can see why you stared. Trying to figure out how it's made would cause one to stare. Looks like old bed springs with the gold pieces attached. Okay, I'll admit it, I know nothing about art. Have a great WW. :)

  19. Hi Sandy, Happy WW/WT!

    That sculpture is intriguing, but repiticious.
    Maybe they would like some of my 'Shell Art.' :-)
    ..
    I had another view of the 'Shell Art' on my regular blog,

  44. Interesting sculptures. Abstract art can be really thought provoking sometimes. Thanks for your visit.

    ReplyDelete
  45. They are very interesting... unique... kinda reminds me of chaos in man-made order... but I'm a bit whacky that way and probably dead-off from what the sculptor wanted.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Wow-I lived in CT most of my life and only just recently moved away...and I've never seen these..they're beautiful and I'm so happy that I stopped by.

  47. There so odd looking, they're beautiful. I love any kind of art. I too can stare at a piece of work and be enraptured by it all.

    ReplyDelete
  48. very interesting modern art. i like when towns incorporate art into their buildings, outdoor areas, etc...

    ReplyDelete
  49. those are good pictures-- the art itself fascinates me how does one come up w/ the concept? or is it random ?and if so when does one know one is finished? I do appreciate modern art just not the creation process of it.

    ReplyDelete
  50. looks very interesting...

    Happy WW!

  65. They are beautiful. I never spent any time in Bridgeport except at the train station, so I've never seen these.

  66. I love that communities spend money on art work in public places. These are very interesting. I know I've never seen them before but they look familiar for some reason.
