Coming Together Sculpture San Diego Convention Center


This is a sculpture of a female face. The left side is black and white and angular. The Right side is curvy and colorful.
This a close up of the sculpture that features green tiles and various rocks embedded in cement.
This is a close up on the colored rocks embedded in the cement. The rocks are mostly different colors of blue.
This a close up of the plaque embedded in the sculpture. It reads as follows Comming Together Niki de Saint Phalle September 2001
All Pictures taken 26 December 2008
This 2001 sculpture by Niki de Saint Phalle has very '60s feel to it.  It is a sculpture that I see often with my walks with Charlie.  Sonjiala, my wife has been going through some things from her child hood.  You can read about them at He Molested Me .com.  I believe that her writing there has been some of her best.  One of the themes I get from reading her recent writing is that to be complete we must unite our pain and pleasure.  We can't exclude any part of us if we are going to be whole.
