biennale bill

i've been meaning to show you these!

here are some pictures i took back in september

while in venice exploring the biennale art festival...

this whole room was devoted to the concept of one artist

who filled it with piles of clay

and posted a sign on the wall

inviting visitors to decorate the walls...

the result is a dream world of ever changing creativity...

wouldn't it be amazing to have a room

like this in your house?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the artist is NORMA JEANE...

and the sign explains that it is perfectly ok

to take a piece of the clay with you as a souvenir...

 

i spotted my perfect piece of souvenir clay

on the floor at the top of this shot...

 

and here he is!

he looked so scared and lost, abandoned on the floor...

i don't know who created him...

but i call him BILL

and he seems quite happy

in his new home here with us in florida!

 

oh, and one more thing....
