At The Museum Of Modern And Contemporary Art II

PHILOSOPHICAL MUSINGS (AND A BIT OF DARK HUMOR)

Michelangelo's Moses, Dying Slave and Victory, recreated entirely with bones.  They were impressive and provocative, immersing one in somber meditation about mortality and the meaning of it all.

[Supposedly the bones are all from herbivores;  no disrespect meant, but what if a few human bones were thrown in as a cheeky prank? -- I remember once asking my mother, half-seriously, if she wouldn't like to donate a rib to me upon her death, for use in a piece of artwork]

Another Rude Interlude

YES, I HAD TO DO IT

Here's a photo of Michelangelo's David from the Web.

It's one of the most widely recognized works of sculpture in the world, and long a personal favorite of mine.

Which is why, when I saw this leaf in the parking lot at work, I was immediately inspired to use it to create this tribute to David.
