I cannot wait to see this in person.
It took some fancy footwork but our landscape crew was able to lower Bent bench right into place.

Mitch Ryerson and Bent Bench. Thinking heavy thoughts.

This turned out to be the easy part of the install. Who knew snaking an 1800 lb cast granite bench between 5 trees would be so tricky?

Mitch Ryerson digging out a space for his bench in between these five Eastern Redbuds. This is part of our newly landscaped grounds. Bent Bench, will be the fifth bench we've installed after our call for artists in the fall of 2000.

Maya Angelou said, “Be present in all things and thankful for all.” We at the Art Complex Museum wish you a safe and happy Thanksgiving holiday!
Thanksgiving gives us an opportunity to share the work of German artist Käthe Kollwitz. This intimate portrait reveals a young girl’s personal devotion. Kollwitz created a glowing effect on the subject’s face and hands by placing her against a dark background, further alluding to the spiritual content. The girl’s humble posture, clasped hands and closed eyes, emphasize her passion and sincerity. Kollwitz’s later work focused on the atrocities of war.

Maya Angelou. Please correct the spelling of her name. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!
You might call this a “bird’s-eye view” of the new entryway's installation. 🐦
In the foreground is ‘Seeking Higher Ground,’ a giant blue jay by the Myth Makers Andy Moerlein and Donna Dodson.
