Hidden Figures #4 (The Eagle by Alexander Calder) || I.

I didn't originally plan to interact with Alexander Calder's "Eagle" but as photographer @skyclad.studio and I came upon it and its spot on the hill, the sun was making its way up the hill as well, hitting the sculpture just right and inviting us to it. 

.

With one of the goals of 'Hidden Figures' being to challenge myself to interact with a sculpture's scene, using my body to mirror or contrast its shapes, I saw "The Eagle" as a delightful challenge. 

.

With its blunt lines and angles and giant-like stature, what could little old me do to stand up to and alongside the monumental sculpture? I took notice of its sharp lines and sought to match or oppose them - show it I could be tall, strong and monumental too. 

But ultimately - I'm a human: I fold and I curl; I wave and I bend. I could show the Eagle that I was strong like it was or I could just flow around it: Show it what it's like to be made of skin and bone. Show it - and remind myself - that one doesn't always have to be biggest presence in the room, make the largest gestures to make an impact. Sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference. Similarly to my interaction with "Wake" by Richard Serra, I let small touches make the biggest impressions: A pointed toe, intentional extensions, arcs and waves stick out like many paintings and figure drawings before me would have their subjects do to add an extra visual interest element to the capture.

Besides, allowing oneself to be its most natural - accepting ones truest state - can allow it to shine like the sun rising up over a hill on a summer morning. And for all the hiding and tucking I did amongst the other scenes in the park, there was wasn't much room to hide around this piece. It was a giant stage for me to show it, show onlookers, show Seattle, show anyone my truest self. 

I didn't originally plan to interact with The Eagle, but as many of our random encounters prove over time, it's very possible that the opportunity presented itself for a reason. As many pieces of art do, it has something to show me and I'm grateful it waited patiently for just the right time to beckon us to it and deliver its silent message.

Hidden Figures #3 (Wandering Rocks by Tony Smith) || I.

When I first saw Wandering Rocks by Tony Smith years ago I was intrigued by the piece, its whimsical spread, and its composition; but when I met with it again in 2022, after all the things I'd been through since our last meeting, I saw it with new and different eyes. This time, I found myself identifying with the beautiful onyx figures on display in the middle of the Emerald City. I saw myself in them - fellow black figures poking out of the Seattle landscape: Easy to overlook amongst the other figures around it, yet once one's eyes fall upon them, they stand out as they blend in - there because they were supposed to be but also almost out of place as compared to their larger, louder neighbors in the park.

.

I was drawn to their ambiguity, their quiet and humble yet strikingly contrasted existence in the space. And identified with being a figure that some might be drawn to and appreciate and others might overlook, be unsure of how to interact with or be just plain indifferent towards.

.

Entering the park again to embark on this project, I couldn't wait to meet up with the sculptural display again. And in those moments where I could run through and lay amongst the rocks, I felt emboldened and affirmed. If someone were to ask me to explain the importance of public art, my interaction with Wandering Rocks would be one of the experiences I would describe.

Though the abstract shapes I stood beside and interacted with weren't people, they felt like me. At that time, in that place, they and I resembled each other the most. They felt like community, something I find myself craving often as I exist in and around the Seattle bubble. The figures asked nothing of me, they passed no judgement; they just existed as they were; as did I. And I reveled in the chance to just exist with them - a 6th Wandering Rock - the 6th Black figure to join their group as they rolled along in their place in the park, just as any time I see a joyful group of Black figures roaming about in the city, I want to join them too...

.

Because, as diverse in thought and culture as the Seattle area can be, it's no secret that many of its spaces are also very...white. I'm not unfamiliar with the phenomenon of being one of (if not the only) person of color in a room; it's one of those experiences that, for many, comes with the POC territory. And while the majority of my interactions with Emerald City citizens visually different than myself are normal, typical, ordinary, in the last couple of years, I've also noticed more and more the subtle nuances within the interactions that aren't - the interactions that reveal the curious way some in the area process my curious Black existence...
