Paul Conrad: Chain Reaction
It's been a while since I lasted posted, but here is a new one.
This is a sculpture in Santa Monica by Paul Conrad. Conrad is a political cartoonist and sculptor. This piece took my breath away when I stumbled upon it. It is unsettling and beautiful. Made of hundreds of chain links, it is, in the Artist's words, a statement of peace.
To me the chains represent how we are ultimately tethered to the fear of mass destruction and that this fear links us to the need for peace.
Location: Santa Monica Convention Center

I really enjoy your blog having just discovered it via Jen Graves. Good photos. Simple, yet insightful, text. I'd like to see a few more entries. You're almost there--I'd say maybe two a week.
