Sophisticated sundial clock in Medellín, Colombia

LB — Sat, 12 Apr 2014 23:53:52 +0000

A little hard to tell from these photos how beautiful this clock is. Depending on which side of noon you are, you view either one side or another. I believe noon hits (more or less) the circle in center.

A mystery sculptor (all that’s known is that she is female) has been leaving these sculptures made from book pages in libraries and museums across Edinburgh.

Coloured plexi beach art installation, Sydney

This sculpture installation of coloured plexiglas by Nicholas Elias takes me back to my 60s/70s childood. It’s part of the Sculpture By The Sea exhibition in Sydney, Australia. I’m a bit annoyed I didn’t do this first, though I wanted to make more of a landscaping or entrance feature.

Paper cutout sculptures by Jen Stark. Thanks to Paul for pointing these out. It seems paradoxical that geometry can create a visceral response, but it does.
