NUTS AND CAPS

January 29, 2012.  I like how the lines of the pavers and the round nuts of the acorn play off each other, bisected by twigs creating corrals of nuts and caps and errant leaf scraps.  By some chance the tarnished rock in the left corner invites the acorns to inhabit the space around it, warmed by the color, contrasting itself to the other rocks.  It seems to signal that there is a way out of the confinement.

WATER WALL

November 8, 2009. Public walkways often meet with mixed results in their everyday application. This particular one is dark and dull with the exception of this water wall, where water glistens on the rock as it cascades from the ceiling. The light plays on the uneven surface, and the water tinkles as it falls into the pool at sidewalk level. It is a valiant attempt to bring life to a lifeless spot.
