Clinic Statue

Posted by Slackwater - Don (Spokane, United States) on 27 July 2009 in Abstract & Conceptual.

This statue welcomes visitors to my clinic. We were driving away having picked up a prescription for pain following outpatient surgery. With me still half sedated... but with point-and-shoot in hand, I asked my daughter-driver to pause while I got this shot through the windshield. I liked it a little more then than I like it now - I was feeling THAT good! :-) In fact. I thought the eviscerated statue rather funny considering the occasion.

Wonderful simplicity of colour here and a great silhouette.
Hope you are well on the road to recovery.

This makes a strong graphic image. I find it curious that the lines and spiral design have a Southwest feel to them. Maybe there's a Native American influence going on in the piece. Whatever the case, it's beautiful.

Don, What a trooper, clicking photos while in recovery. How all is well. I like the hint of the other sculpture too.
