Day 30: In the Fold

     Today's entry takes us to the lakefront art walk again(the same place we saw the tooth/lightbulb hybrid and the airship).  Today's entry will be about another one of the entries on that walk, this time a piece called Folding Forms.  This sculpture is by the artist Christopher Newman.  For a little bit more about the work, let's turn to his profile on artcommission.com: "Chris Newman's work encompasses large-scale abstract sculptures, full-size figures, tabletop maquettes, and figures...The Wilmette, Illinois Park District has several of his outdoor abstract pieces, and his dalmatians guard a fire truck at Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. Newman has worked extensively on projects with architects and welcomes collaboration on outdoor or indoor sculptures for public corporate office buildings, healthcare facilities, and parks. He operates a full-service fabrication studio in Chicago and holds an M.F.A in sculpture, a subject he has also taught." In addition to all that, the Folding Forms is a part of the Chicago Sculpture International tour, which is the same exhibition that Kelpies is here with. There you go, yet another slice of weird public art.  Happy Day 30!
