Head to Ear
Here you see three sculptures that are currently outside the Alton Mill Arts Centre in Caledon, Ontario, which my husband and I visited a couple of weeks ago.
Head to Ear by Marlene Hilton Moore: In this bronze sculpture, an ear fragment is situated near lips underscoring the concept of listening.
Head in the Ocean
Also by Marlene Hilton Moore: Two bronze heads joined to form a vessel listening to the sound of a waterfall, restoring and replenishing the psyche and reminding its viewers to live in harmony with nature.
Fallen
Fallen by Floyd Elzinga: This stainless steel and steel piece represents brokenness. A right bud (which you cannot see in this photo) implies a hope that can never be realized.

These are strong contemporary sculptures.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic pieces!

ReplyDeleteVery interesting sculpture, I like the leaf best.

I drove through Alton twice a day for three years to and from work. I worked in Mississauga and lived in Orangeville. Thanks for taking me back.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic I would love to go see them but your pics brought them to me Thank you :) B
ReplyDeletemagnificent bronze heads, I love this kind of sculpture!Wonderful art!
ReplyDeleteLéia
Wonderful art. I love your photos!
ReplyDeleteVery expressive and unique art! The fallen leaf that is so veined is an inanimate object yet manages to convey fluidity and a sense of melancholy.
ReplyDeleteI love all of these sculptures. The first is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThe sculptures and the meaning that each one has is something I love it.
ReplyDeletenice photos!
the faces are a bit eerie to me, but i love that leaf. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat sculptures. I like the leaf the best.
ReplyDeleteThey are all quite nice for the reasons you explained.
ReplyDelete'Head in the Ocean' resonates for moi.
I so love the 'Fallen' one...the others make me think of a book I read years ago called A Blessing on the Moon by Joseph Skibell.
ReplyDeleteGood pics. That is a great museum visit.
ReplyDeleteThese are very interesting, but not particularly my cup of tea....I love the modeling of the leaf. It's beautiful. But, your description of the entire sculpture is so sad!
ReplyDeleteI really like the first 2, the leaf not so much!
ReplyDeleteInteresting...
ReplyDeleteThe sort of thing I love to see, and ponder!
Oh I just love that face. Umm, half face.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive and meaningful sculptures!
ReplyDeleteI think the fellow in the first shot is going to have a touch time 'earing you, though, even if'n you shout!
I absolutely love the first two images. Beautiful art sculptures, very impressive!
ReplyDeleteWow thats pretty neat, did I just say "neat",lol. Yes I did and well done camera girl! Richard
ReplyDeleteWow those pieces really grab you!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteI love all these, but especially the top one! For such a bleak-ish message, that last one is actually upliftingly pretty.
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing sculptures and they do indeed grab you!! Terrific captures of them all! I really love these -- all of them, the last one really "spoke" to me! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLove that face ;-)
ReplyDeleteI like these sculptures, they mean something that I can actually understand. Nice shots!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful sculptures, and great shots.
ReplyDeleteGreat sculptures and very interesting ideas.
ReplyDeletethe face is nice, but I really like that fallen leaf/branch.
ReplyDeleteThese sculptures are so interesting and your images are beautiful! I always enjoy taking pics of sculptures when I travel.
ReplyDeleteOh, but these sculpture are really grand! Trying to imagine their size? And how nice for everyone that they're displayed outside where you can be really close to investigate. Is this a permanent installation? Hope so, because it has appeal for all ages.
ReplyDeleteImpressive pieces indeed. Loved the last one. Thank you for this inspiration. Please have you all a good Tuesday.
