Wadsworth Antheneum

I visited the Wadsworth Antheneum Museum yesterday. Here is one of the many pictures that I took there. This is actually a photo of a photo. This Chromogenic color print by Rosemary Laing caught my attention. At first I thought it was a forest with groundcover flowers. When you get close enough and look at it, the ground cover is actually a carpet. To be specific, it is an "English carpet design called Royal Persian Rose Petal".

Ms. Laing has a series of such photos called groundspeed.

She really laid this carpeting down on the forest floor in an area in New South Wales. Her purpose has some political intentions. I just like it for its uniqueness.

The Wadsworth is definitely worth the visit if you have not been. I plan on taking my husband some time soon for the Colt exhibit currently there. Posted by Picasa
