I think I must have had geometry in my head when I was in America as it wasn’t just the scent of this fascinating sculpture in the Pérez Art Museum that caught my attention, it was also the shadows underneath.

It is day two of GeometricJanuary, and I am inviting everyone to have fun with geometry.

It is used by animators, architects, artists, astronomers, carpenters, cartographers, designers, engineers, landscape gardeners, navigators, scientists, and even urban planners. Consequently it pops up everywhere which makes it a perfect topic for the Squares Gang. Anyone can be a member of the gang as long as you remember your main image must be Square in shape!

The other rules are simply recommendations;

  • it is a daily challenge but you can also post weekly, just once in January or whatever frequency suits you and your blog
  • it is totally up to you whether you pingback via your post or add your link with a comment on one of my daily square posts. Both approaches work.
  • it helps me enormously when I am creating the galleries if you use the tag. This month it is GeometricJanuary

PS A few of you might have spotted I said ‘scent’ in my opening paragraph, and that was the word I intended. This sculpture engaged the nose as much as the eyes. Each appendage is filled with spices. The main one I could smell was cloves.

    1. it is isn’t it – I really like it. Although not a sculpture I’d want in my house though. The scent would become overpowering in a small setting!

  11. Thank you for the postscript as I was wondering why you said ‘scent’! I love the smells of spices, they always remind me of markets from my travels!

    1. hmmm from what I have read about his work it is more about engaging the viewer, and inviting them to interact. So I presumed he went for spices that are strong and will last.
