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.

Snow Day

And it came to pass that early one very snowy Sunday morning, I found myself back at my new favorite location: there was no way I was missing the chance to photograph this stunning sculpture as the snow fell and the day broke.

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.

Winter in my part of Texas isn’t very colorful, yet here I am, posting a color photograph. I am a woman of mystery.
