The Last Set of Photos from Andres Sculpture Park

Hi everyone. Happy end of the weekend. 

This is my last post of photos from Andres Sculpture Park in Brookline, New Hampshire. For those you who might happen to be in the area, I do recommend visiting. It was a pretty hike/walk, and the art was great. Plus it is free, with a donation box at the end if you want to contribute. 

Of course blogger decided to load these photos backwards.  Some of these I didn't photograph their names either. As  the kids use to say at school, my bad.

These first few photos remind me of Ja Ja Binks for Star Wars episodes 1-3.  There were 3 mechanical sculptures in this set, and I do think the artist created some fantastic anatomical details.










It was obvious what these next  photos are showing (sorry for the reverse order-thanks Google). I wish I knew more about it as it seemed a little out of place in the woods.




I'm sure Elizabeth will love the rust!

This next sculpture brought on the discussion if this yoga shape is actually possible for a very limber person.




And speaking of bends.




Finally a note with some information about the piece.




I'm not sure about these next few, and unfortunately I don't have a photo of the plaque with the sculpture or artist name.




This next piece was different from most, but also interesting. This piece could inspire some interesting art journaling.






And  a few others, some with plaques. These are more confusing to me, but maybe you are better at figuring them out than I am.



This next photo is the one called Rebirth.




These next 2 were under construction, but the red and happy cut metal faces are great.



And finally a reminder that I am not writing a novel today.


I hope you enjoyed all these pieces. I left out a few that either didn't photograph well or didn't seem as interesting. I hope to go back sometime to do some of the other trails and see some pieces that were missed during this first visit.

Hope your weekend is going well. Happy start to the new week.

Post 4 for the Sculpture Park

Hi everyone. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

In Friday's post, I showed you this photo, and I promised you an answer for this piece.  Let's see if you guessed what this sculpture is depicting.



How did you do?

I'm sharing some more photos of the sculptures from Andres Institute of art today.  I hope you are still enjoying them. There are more than 80 sculptures here, and even though we didn't see them all, we did see many of them.  I thought since the sculptors only had 3 weeks to complete their pieces, the sculptures are really well done.

And if you prefer a different sailing craft, here is another.



And here's a few more pieces to view.






This next sprite like sculpture, very small in size, was part of 6 pieces called the Witches. We couldn't find  all 6 , but we did look.


I'm not sure I like this next sculpture but it is aptly titled.



Had this next sculpture been designed  because of the shape of the rocks that make it up? (With a bit of cutting of course).



We saw this next one but never found any info about it. It's very different from most of the ones we saw, and I still can't figure out if these are cubes or maybe even old fashioned TVs.


I wanted better photos of this next statue (below) as I thought it was interesting. However, when we arrived, a small group arrived from the other direction, and they were very chatty. They were from Florida and were mostly complaining how hilly the park (and New Hampshire) was in general. We had to laugh. I think one reason they stopped was because they had to catch their breath as they were walking up the hill. 

We also took notice how chatty they were. That is NOT a bad thing in any way, but us New Englanders are pretty laconic and keep to ourselves. Most people say "hello" or "nice day" and pass by.  It was fun to actually have a conversation with some other visitors. My photos aren't great because they kept hanging out next to the sculpture, and I didn't want to include them in my photos.




Here's a few more random pieces.


This next name goes with the photo below it.



And finally for today's post,  this one, whose name I can't exactly remember, was something like connections to my father.



Hope you are enjoying these armchair visits.  I think I have one more post left of photos. Since new art challenges are starting during this upcoming week, I'll save that for next weekend. 

Have a great start to the new week.
