On a crisp morning, I embarked on a solo run to Laumeier Sculpture Park, a sanctuary where art and environment converse in silent splendor. With each visit, I discover new layers of meaning within its vast, open spaces. Today, I revisited familiar sculptures, each resonating with memories and inviting reflection on their deeper meanings. The park's verdant paths led me to Tony Tasset's 'Eye,' an oversized, hyper-realistic eyeball sculpture that commands attention. Its unblinking gaze seems to challenge the observer, a reminder of the omnipresence of nature and the constant observation we're under in today's society. It's as if the 'Eye' encourages a deeper introspection, a call to look within as much as it looks out onto the world. Not far from this arresting vision is Alexander Liberman's 'The Way,' a towering assembly of red cylinders that reach skyward in a complex yet harmonious arrangement. Even as it undergoes renovations, it stands

We went to the Laumeier Sculpture Park a few days ago. It was pretty neat. I don't know exactly what I was expecting, but it was pretty interesting and a lot of fun. We only got about a third of the way through before the kids started getting tired. There is Jupiter and Chris getting looked at by Eye by Tony Tasset. That is me and Tsunami hanging out on Pool Complex: Orchard Valley by Mary Miss which was built made on an abandoned pool site in the park. This is Chris and Jupiter wandering under The Way by Alexander Liberman. There is a lot of hiking paths and cool sculptures in the park. I cannot wait to go back.
