Art Omi in Ghent, New York

Covid 19 Days melt together...  It's time to enjoy some art.






That is the largest Doe
I've ever seen...










... at Art Omi in Ghent.







It's a beautiful day for a walk in this 100 plus acre Sculpture and Architecture Park.




This is Playground by Iran

I imagine visitors climbing
around on this concrete
installation.








This is Scapegoat by
Nari Ward.




A close up of the Goat's head.

I wonder if the sculpture is
 moved around using
 its lone wheel.





This piece looks like ill-fitting dentures.

It is Clench by Oliver Kruse




Eric reads Avocados, Spinach, Pears
Apples, Celery, Almond Milk...

It's a Grocery List...  No...

 It's Memorial by David Shrigley.








This is Blast Furnace
by Atelier
Van Lieshout.

A Toilet is mounted
to the right of the
Fuel Tank.






Eric gets a shot of
me with Eureka

I am fascinated by
the wrinkled





This region of New York State was originally colonized by the Dutch in the 1600s.  The earliest images of towns in the Capital Region show the steep stepped rooflines of buildings in the 1600s and 1700s.






Arcs in Disorder by Bernar Venet
with Eureka in the background.







Eric and I walk through the woods and find...





...Lith by Carl D'Alvia...




... Sallie by Donald Lipski
has Antifreeze in its
glass bottles.






... Marriage Tree by









... Arrows by Tony Tasset...





We emerge from the trees & find






Eric closely examines the
repeated patterns in the
wooden sculpture.




Eric & I stand in front
of this Primitive Hut
by Carolyn O'Donnell
& Martin Miller.





The trees were carefully placed to show off this temporary roofless structure.






Carapace by Vruti Desai
& Avinash Sharma












I take time to study it's
intricate interior.






Eric approaches ReActor by
Alex Schweder & Ward Shelley.

The "glassed in-home" moves
with the wind.





Nearby chairs welcome visitors to relax and watch ReActor in action.






Zoid by LevenBetts is
a study of angles.












Oculi by Aleksandr Mergold
is an interactive installation.



Visitors are encouraged to stop,
look at the sky through predrilled
 holes & wait for the color of the
sky to match the inside of the
installation.

The hammocks are very welcoming.








Prismatic by Hou de Sousa
is best viewed one segment
at a time.






I don't know exactly how
to describe this sculpture.




It's Tea Cozy by Yolande Daniels.

I recognize the crochet pattern
from pieces Eric's Grandmother
made many, many years ago.





Eric and I finish our walk and return to our car.  Spending time here, discussing works of art and architecture has refreshed our spirits.
