Road Trip!

We took a road trip to the De Cordova museum which is most known for its sculpture park. The museum itself had a few exhibits and I was especially intrigued by Alan Goldsworthy's idea of taking a large dirty snowball and letting it melt onto paper.  The result was a subtle pattern of brownish black.  I tried it at home with ice but I was less subtle.  I put rusty nuts and bolts and some handmade paper that I know runs and put it all in water and froze it.  Then I put the ice chunk out on the deck to melt.  As an after thought I sprinkled some cumin on top of the whole mess.  It was warm and humid so the paper took longer to dry than I thought.  I am still studying the results and wondering what to do with it.

But in the mean time, here are a couple pictures of the sculptures from the grounds:
