It is a truly interesting interpretation of a beautiful act, an embrace. I’m impressed with the concept though I struggle to understand everything that I am seeing. But for some reason I don’t mind that struggle with this piece. Maybe it is the hands. They are beautifully rendered. The viewer reads into art and what I read into those hands are both gentleness and strength, love and sensuality, partnership.
I enjoyed watching people of all ages engaging with the piece and actually having conversation with each other and with strangers about it and the content of the surrounding 1965 Freedom Plaza. The memorial is located on the Boston Common, adjacent to the Parkman Bandstand, where Dr. King spoke in 1965.
Love it, hate it, neutral about it, or all the feelings that lie in the between spaces of those feelings, I think it is well worth a visit.

A second attempt to grow borage. Nestled next to the tomato plants. Let’s see if it improves the flavor of the fruits.

… there are a number of plants that will soon need to be returned to the outside. They seemed to have enjoyed their winter stay.
In fact they thrived so well that I think I may need to hire the neighbor’s teenager to carry these down the stairs. They’re all a bit bigger than when I brought them indoors.
And I can’t help but think once they’re back outside what shall I place in the “empty” spaces left behind. Ah, what a wonderful problem. 🙂

On view until February 25th, don’t miss the opportunity to experience the i3c Group Artists Exhibit, Inspiring Change for the Climate Crisis, at Brickbottom Gallery Somerville. A truly inspiring exhibit. During the opening reception my favorite part, aside from connecting and reconnecting with artist friends, was watching children engage with the range of media, from fiber arts to photography to paintings and more. https://brickbottom.org/exhibitions-current-upcoming/
