More Adventures in the Commonwealth

Back to the Vineyard...

Once we got some sun, we went out and about quite a bit. One morning into midday, we headed out to West Tisbury for an event at the library for Madeleine.



While she and SJ did their thing. Cory and I hit a farmers market and the general store. Then we all met up and found a (not terribly well-hidden) secret passageway through the trees to a land of oversized people and things.



Ok, it was really a sculpture garden. But a really cool one! Adjacent to the Field Gallery, these Tom Maley sculptures were enough to bring our mood up and break through the clouds.

This one has some attitude, wouldn't you say? No matter where you look at him from, no matter how you shade him, he's got some fierce going on.

You can see that the sky was still pretty gray that day, but we felt totally released going out into the elements.

This one's Dance of Joy was contagious - and reflective of the mood inside the gallery: among other exhibits there was a showing of Herb Greene rock-n-roll photos from San Francisco in the 60s and 70s - included some pretty well known images of Janice and Jimi, and the shot of Jefferson Airplane that turned into the album cover for Surrealistic Pillow, as well as some other perspectives on the period. Didn't shoot any of that; that tunnel of photos of photos gets pretty narrow pretty quick. Rad exhibition, though.

The field at the Field was grazed by a protective herd of cast iron cows. (Carved iron? I don't know)

Last but not least is this exhuberant father and daughter duo. I don't think that it's a Tom Maley - didn't catch who it is, but I really like the energy there!
