my dear friend kat sent this link to me today, and i drooled over the imagery for quite a while. it was a good present, especially as she knows of my love for the cemeteries in nola and this certainly is reminiscent, and also brought to mind places i've been in italy. the agony and ecstasy of destruction and elation and emotion are gorgeous and bring to mind the strange internal spaces that moments of transcendence often elide. and some of the sculptures are clearly stone so impossibly in love with the body and its form that they almost become alive and yet in their very nature serve to make the viewers mindful of the transience of this existence. rapture and ruin rubbing against each other, concommitant.
