In fact, just ten minutes' walk from home brings me to Delmar Station, where this sculpture was installed day before yesterday:
It doesn't seem to have a title...I am calling it the "Popcorn Tub Aggregation"!
The Lions of University City are celebrating their hundredth year, and some artists have been asked to depict life-size papier maiche statues of lions in their own way. Here's one, at the beginning of the Delmar Loop:
And here's the title, and the name of the artist:
Another one, I think, is very witty indeed. This one is in front of the University City Library that I go to...this lion is made up of newsprint!
And the title is very witty, too..."Reading Between The Lions"!
Unfortunately, some sculptures and their titles don't seem to match up. Remember the papier maiche sculpture of the nude woman sitting and having coffee , that's in front of a coffee shop? The title is:
How can "sitting" and "reclining" be the same thing?

Idea was shot down by engineer, contractor, and garden contractor, since it would be too difficult to make out of concrete.

I will touch the sculpture when I next walk past, and find out what it is made of.

Heh! I even contemplated replacing concrete hexes with plastic pipes, but everyone started shivering at the thought of trying to make it into a real thing.
BUT! I was very successful in having them make a compass rose for the garden. That one was a total success, from a wikipedia commons image to a 3D piece! Hats off to the architect who converted it to a drawing, and to the mason who slaved over it for several days.

The artwork on the lions reminds me of a certain art work done on ponies, as in little horse that are used for kids to play on, (made of different material) in Lake Geneva last year. I can't seem to remember if I posted them or not, I searched, in vain! *sighs*
Anyways, the schools in Lake Geneva had this art project of designing on the ponies what ever they felt like or thought of. There were so many displayed in the streets and beautiful too! Darn it...I am sure I psoted and can't seem to find it.
