New York Times photo by Styrous®

 

I was pleased when one of my photographs was used in the Art and Design section of The New York Times. It was a photo I'd taken for the Berkeley Art Museum during a concert by Ellen Fullman performing her, "Compositions for the Long String Instrument". Mrs. Fullman is an avant guard artist who works with instruments she constructs. This was one of several concerts at the museum I was asked to photograph to advertise the Friday night, L@te series.

Berkeley Art Museum unveiled BAMscape, an amazing

architectural sculpture designed by architect Thom Faulders, that was commissioned by the Museum.

Designed to be people friendly, it was built to be interactive for people to climb, walk, sit & lay on.

The children especially enjoyed romping around on it.

Constructed of wood over foam, it is painted a wonderful, warm orange. Delightful to the eye and easy on the body when laying on it, it is a beautiful, colorful & huge construction that says, “Come, enjoy me.” It is a visual blend reminiscent of a stage set, waves, architectural plans, mountains or a children’s slide. Faulders says it creates, “dynamic relationships between users and environments.”
