Is this spider big enough?

[turtlespeed 220]

I am only asking because spiders are fun to play with and have crawl around on you.

I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama

I wonder what it was supposed to be before she decided to call it a spider?

This is a sculpture that was placed in my town in 2004, just before we were struck by 4 hurricanes later that year. Cost in the low 6-figure range.

We call it a hurricane magnet around here.

If I were saying it isn't, I would have said something like~

"That's not ART!"




See the difference?


No, I was asking because years ago at the urging of a G/F...we took an art class at a University extension.

I turned in a similar, smaller scale sculpture and was graded with the comment:
"Full time consideration of another endeavor might be in order"

I wanna send that link back there and see if I can get a refund from that quack of a professor!

That is utter shite. Your hurricane magnet just looks like some guy on LSD just decided to stick random pieces of metal together for a laugh. Cost in the low 6 figure range? Well if you hear about any other "projects" that might need doing, tell them to ring me and I'll do them something similar for 20k.

At least the "spider" actually resembles something!

Art my arse.

I like it. It's happy-looking to me, and has a lot of visual interest.

Well......it does sort of grow on you!
But, to my eye, this is a sculpture.

In Moscow there is a sculpture dedicated to the point in the city where the German army was stopped...(pic attachment 1)


Every time I see pic 2 attached, I thank GOD we stopped those Krauts from taking our Houston airport!

But look what happened to your sculpture after being on loan for 2 years to the USA

For the same reason I jump off a perfectly good diving board.

I saw the statue in the Guggenheim in Bilbao. It was pretty scary at first. Then you get under her and understand lots.
You feel the protection of the mother.

Either that or relive The War of The Worlds!

Interesting. Because from a distance, I was pretty sure it was a male spider.

[piisfish 140]

if she is "Maman", which means MOTHER, she "should" be a female...

My first thought while thinking about this "portrait of her Mother" is that she must have been ugly and scary... once you get past the appearance, you notice that she is strong and caring.

YES it is art.
No I wouldn't want one in my garden
