DANCING MAENADS: 2 Large Marble Frieze Reliefs H89 X W165 cm each, Roman "The female figures are faithful copies of the models created at the end of the 5th c. BC by the Greek sculptor Callimachus. Some, such as the maenad holding a basket full of fruit and the one screaming disheveledly brandishing two torches and with her arms wrapped in snakes, are however not typical of the Dionysian thiasos but refer to the iconography of an offering bearer or a Hora [season] and that of an Erinyes [personification of revenge especially towards those who attack one's family], themes that adapt to a funerary context."

Hidden Figures #1 (Wake by Richard Serra) || II.

Leaning into that feeling of minisculity I focused my poses on what the feeling would look like physically: I balled myself up and played with smaller poses accented by little angled touches for dimension. And in those poses, as I bent and stooped and balanced and shrunk, surrounded by these figures, the amount of space between myself and Wake's structures became even more noticeable.

.

I felt like a small speck between the vastness of its walls,

.

a tiny interloper between pieces and foundations that had stood together for decades.

.

And all that space began to emphasize another feeling that was familiar....A feeling of

.

isolation,

even in the presence of others.

.

And in that moment, between these iconic structures rising in the center of Seattle, it was not lost on me that the feeling Wake's walls were stirring in me I'd experienced many times, not far from where I was standing...

.

It was not lost on me that, similarly to the way I joined the structures of Wake, I've been allowed to be a part of the scenery of some of Seattle's groups, allowed to get close to the figures within it. But upon closer inspection, no matter how deeply I slunk myself into them, there were still gaps between myself and my fellow figures: social, emotional, cultural gaps that I couldn't seem to close.

.

I may have arched and waved in ways similar to the shapes surrounding me, but my curves were still a little too rounded, my angles a little too sharp to fit into its storied pockets. I was still sticking out and felt it more and more, year after year.

THE WINGED VICTORY OF BRESCIA: Bronze statue found in 1826 at the Capitolium of Brixia site, Now - one of the symbols of Brescia preserved in the Capitolium museum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitolium_of_Brixia 1 AD [H=195cm] "The … restoration of the 'Opificio delle Pietre Dure' [Ministry of Culture restoration institute based in Florence] has established that the statue was cast in the 1st c. AD in a local forge and is not an assembly of different statues but was created to be a 'Winged Victory'. The reference model is to be identified in Aphrodite Urania of the 'Cyrene type', i.e. with the goddess conceived in that specific variation of posture found in the statue of the same name from Cyrene. Other details, such as the twisting of the bust and the shape of the arms are also borrowed from Greek works of the 5th-6th c. BC. … the wings were added to transform the work into the goddess Victoria; in Rome and Constantinople there were similar works [Victory engraving a shield] in the Imperial forums." [txt ©BAP]

The sculpture 'The mount of olives' by the church of St. John the Baptist in Znojmo, South Moravia

While the church was already founded in 1628, the sculpture, along with a monastery garden and an orchard, were added later. The sculpture dates from 1754.
