art is everywhere

In the last few weeks on the usual ride, these sculptures have begun to appear. This was one of the first. I don't know if the picture shows it but there is a purple plastic cup at the top which to my way of thinking is the most clever use of a plastic purple cup known to mankind.

Sparky approves.

As time goes along another appears, and more elements are added to them.

This week the artist has out done his or herself. This beauty appeared out of nowhere. It is a round platform mounted on a ceiling fan, mounted on a rolling office chair. There are streamers (designed to scare the heck out of horses no doubt) hanging down, a tiny mirror, a bell. All made up of junk found, dumped out in the arroyos where we ride. The whole thing spins . Keno the horse thought he'd smell it, and bonked it with his nose. The bell rang, the whole thing began to spin, and the streamers flapped...whoo boy, that was WAY more than he bargained for.

The artists identity is a mystery. I've never seen anyone carrying this junk around, or doing anything resembling sculpting... I hope to somehow make contact with this person. I am thinking right now a message in a found bottle and other articles of junk I've picked up out there. The idea is still in the formulation phase.
