my heart skipped a beat when i saw this image. this piece is breathtakingly beautiful & sad…and mesmerizing. i can’t imagine the emotion if i were standing next to this sculpture. i fell in love with it even more when reading the description below by sabrina gschwandtner.
“Then there was Keith W. Bentley’s “Cauda Equina,” a small, shaggy sculpture of a horse. I stared at the little pony for a while, trying to pinpoint what made his presence so endearing yet inaccessible. I realized that the pony’s eyes were covered by hair, a veil that denied me the connection I sought. Wall text revealed that the work was based on Victorian-era funeral etiquette, which required widows to wear black for eighteen months. The piece mourns the death of over two hundred and fifty horses slaughtered in processing plants; the hairs from each horse were hand-knotted onto fabric and then fitted over a taxidermy form. The fact that this sculptural animal was created as a stand-in for others’ deaths gave it an otherworldly presence.”

i am sad to say that we have not been privi to picking our own home grown tomatoes this year. we haven’t had any, not a one from our 10 + plants! we normally have a bumper crop, so much so, that we always roast and freeze them away for a summer time dish in the winter. i think they are suffering from heat stroke like the rest of us. although, the mornings and evening are beginning to become quite pleasant again here in austin so i am hopeful to find some of these red gems appear come fall. so, if any of you out there are enjoying some home-grown and hand picked tomatoes this year have one for me!!
this image is from a really wonderful farm food blog called brooklyn farm. enjoy!
