My Mom

My mother's work: Slide

For those of you that read "The Funniest Blog Ever", T is holding a photo contest. My mother, the photographer and now avid reader of T's blog, was very excited about the contest. She was so excited that she sent me 13 different pictures that involved his theme "circles". I reminder her that it was for fun, however the prestige of being posted on T's blog is a prize in it's own. Anyway, she asked me to choose which one to send and I could only narrow it down to about 4. I liked many of them. She ended up sending T 4 photos. I like the one that he posted. I believe that it's a metal art sunflower. You can usually find work like that at art festivals. I also like the one above; Slide. It reminds me of what it was like to be a child. You would hop into a slide and it was like a different world. The color of the plastic made it seem odd and you could count on being invisible to adults, while you were in it. It was also good for getting some shade on a hot day and you could get some good echoes out of it. My mom does really interesting work. If you are ever at my loft, you can see two pieces of hers on my walls. I'm sure that I will post more of her art in the future.
