cool beat and fantastic nyc images.
while aimlessly wandering the streets of new york recently, i stumbled up mel kendrick's markers on display in madison square park.
it has been written that the five large sculptures were formed by layering black and white concrete to create a fossil-like surface texture with additional inspiration coming from the marble found in gothic italian cathedrals and the simplest methods of marking: placing one object on top of another.
the installation is fun for kids as they can climb on the markers and play hide & seek. it kind of reminds me of stone henge in prison stripes and offers the most wonderful see-thru views, which is great for the rest of us.

Art in a park is always so much fun, can't wait for my N-Y trip in spring!!!

Wow! I think the bottom right photo looks like a stack of modern cupcake liners ... very fun for a kid's adventure in imagination!
Makes me long for big city life. Thanks for sharing. Happy new year!
Wow! They're great! My favorite is the one with the clouds!
I love art that can be not only seen, but can be touched and climb on. I am glad you stumbled upon them.
These would be so much fun to see in person :)
