More Art In The Park 

Celebrating the Centennial of Hermann Park.

Wind Waves, made in 2009, is by Mexican artist, Yvonne Domenge (1946).

She was on hand to supervise its placement near the Museum of Natural Science.

From a distance, this Ferrari red orb looks as if it is floating in air.

Wind Waves is thirteen feet in diameter and weighs close to 6 tons.

Demenge draws on organic curvilinear forms for her sculptures.

Wishing YOU well and much joy.

A big thank you to the Our World Hosts.

Art In The Park

Hermann Park is celebrating its centennial with Public Art.
I've already shared the twig maze.

Today I'm sharing the Spider.

A giant arachnid descended on the Jones Reflection pool where it appears to float on the water's surface. It is part of Hermann Park Conservancy's year-long Art In The Park series celebrating the historic green space's centennial.

Spider was created by the late internationally acclaimed artist Louise Bourgeois.

The newest addition to Hermann Park comes from an anonymous private collector in Houston who offered the loan specifically for 

Art In The Park.

The Spider weighs about 2,000 pounds.

Measurements: About 11 feet tall and 21 feet wide.

Even at those dimensions, the Spider exhibits a strength in metal work yet with a spindly, even intricate, appearance.*

Wishing You well and much joy!

A big thank you to the hosts of Our World.
