Square Spiral Arch (snow)

More snow, more public art.

This piece, Square Spiral Arch, is by Jesús Moroles. It features spiraling lines of texture – which are enhanced by the snow clinging to them – to represent fingers of energy. The circle and square motif represents heaven and earth and are reflective of the artist’s work and travels in Asia. (from Texas Tech’s public art app, ArTTech.)

My observant reader(s) will have probably noticed by now that I am big fan of this sculpture. I am so much a fan that I got up the other day, before it was even light outside, just to drive up to campus and get photos of it in the snow. It was worth it.

My pal Meyer and I took a drive one day and ended up in Lazbuddie. Because of course we did.

I have a fascination with football stadiums in little towns, so of course that was one of our stops. And look! There’s Meyer, out there in the middle of the field.

Botanical Confusion

So. Much. Confusion.

Distant Light

When I was shooting the auditorium and coliseum, the boiler room was just about my favorite place in the entire facility. It was dark and mysterious. It smelled weird. It made unusual clangy noises. It was full of oddities.

So of course it was my favorite place.
