To commemorate the start of Spring, we went in search of blooming buds and flowers. Much to our dismay, we did not find any (yet) to share but instead came across this giraffe springing out of the bushes in Mount Street Gardens in Mayfair. Grazing upon the greens of the 19th century churchyard garden, sits a small bronze giraffe. Who would have thought that our morning jaunt for flora would take us on an urban safari?
90” Triacontahedron by Anthony James
In London’s Berkeley Square, 90” Triacontahedron by Anthony James beckons the passerby. A British-American artist, based in Los Angeles, Mr. James uses specialized glass, LED, and steel to draw spectators into his work. Hailed as of one of the world’s leading light artists, he incorporates an array of industrial objects, vitrines of steel, aluminum, and waste and debris, to illuminate and reflect on themes of light and dark, death, destruction, and rebirth in his brilliant pieces. As light and color frolic within the panels of the sculpture, 90” Triacontahedron transports us to another dimension, even on the greyest of London days.
