Sculpture and photography


I think sculpture and photography are closely related pursuits. So, I was delighted to linger when I came across this sculptural ensemble in an underpass. The light was mixed, a combination of ambient and artificial sources. Although the color version of the photograph looks just fine, the subject does better in black and white, I think. Young sculptors probably dream of having their work installed in a beautiful sculpture garden or in front of a famous building. I can’t help wondering what this artist thought of being commissioned to make public art for an underpass? It looks like it was enjoyable to make, regardless.
