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.

Ernesto Neto ‘Cai Cai Marrom’

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.

  18. Beautiful dear BeckyB. Do you know, what I learn with this subject? With my camera I am being focus what impressed me, or, …etc. But with this square subject (yes at first time) I am being focus to the subject with my camera. This is amazing. You start to see the lines, shapes, etc. But almost you try to catch geometrical lines, shapes… To be hones this one really so enjoyable especially for a new one. But it is easy too. You almost understand, everything is in some of lines… Geometry is in everywhere… I really wonder what would be next,… Thank you, have a nice day, Love, nia
