Patrick's images: Seeing Scupture

  • Tony Cragg, Pulse
I love how this piece can be closed off or riddled with intriguing gaps -- and corresponding shadows -- depending on the point of view.


  • Malian Kono altar
This ritual object has an inscrutable power.
  • Constantin Brancusi, Golden Bird
I may have found the base to be more interesting than the body.



  • Ancient Chinese camel and horse sculptures
I'm a huge fan of the carefully exaggerated style of Chinese animals, particularly horses. They just really get the idea across, and so saucily!

  • Ernst Barlach, The Avenger
    Possibly my favorite sculpture at MIA, and high on my list generally. Brutally dynamic and terribly beautiful.
