Sculpting Genius






With smiles and a new sense of veracity, the BoMa Bloggers headed towards the ever-elusive Lincon, Mass. to visit the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park. However, much to our chagrin, when we finally arrived at the distant pasture, we were confronted with the news that the museum section was closed. While this may appear to have been a crushing blow, the BoMa Bloggers, renowned for their mental toughness and infallibility, were undeterred, as the entry free dropped to only $4 and the sun shined upon each of their glowing faces. They had also prepared a lovely picnic, and the fact that the museum was closed allowed them to more deeply analyze both the sculptures and their own picnicking abilities.

The sculptures themselves provided a large and at times odd spectrum of artistic insight on the world. We were entranced by a spray painted Rolls-Royce (though some BoMa Bloggers thought the vehicle would have looked better on the road) and a giant upper-half of a man painted red sinking into the ground. Others, such as gigantic black hearts and a picture frame capable of fitting three Bloggers within its grasp were more terrifying than stimulating.

After deeply scrutinizing, evaluating and critiquing the sculptures, the Bloggers settled down for a classic picnic, featuring a bevy of sandwiches and fudge cookies. Rabid debate ensued over the magnificent meal, as the Bloggers brainstormed and argued over names they could give some of their favorite pieces of art. While the conversation reflected the high intellectual standards of basic discourse between the Bloggers, it also showed more, something far greater. These BoMa Bloggers are on the path toward becoming one with the art, and in turn, one with humanity. Until next time, be well, stay well and farewell.
