Front and Back - At the Aga Khan Museum

Today we're looking at a hanging in the Aga Khan Museum.  We were asked what it is made of.  We thought it was silk.  It isn't.  We were told to look at the back and we saw these little gold pins. The hanging is made of 1.2 million gold and silver pins, all placed by hand.  The exhibit Your Way Begins on the Other Side was commissioned by the museum and is the work of Aisha Khalid from Lahore. Her Facebook page has a March 22 post with a video on the piece. Here is the Facebook link: https://www.facebook.com/aishakhalid72?fref=photo   Facebook Twitter Website Blogs at:

AGO Henry Moore Exhibit - June 2014

I've visited the Henry Moore sculpture in front of the AGO many times.  Its texture is so complex.  I marvel at something new every time.  Most people take their pictures in front of this beautiful sculpture, but for me this abstract below gives a sense of how wonderful the experience of sculpture in the outdoor landscape is and how much there is for the photographer to interpret.

Here is the Henry Moore exhibit within the art gallery.  The monochrome setting again highlighted the wonderful forms and texture of his work.
