In February, 2005 a scientific party departed from Papetee, Tahiti to sail into the roaring forties and fearsome fifties to hunt for 55 million year old sediment. These are my favourite pictures of more than 300 taken documenting this adventure.
Sometimes I don't know what to do with Finlays art work. This latest piece had us in stitches... What would you call it. Daycare called it 'statue'. Here's the proud artiste.

Er, maybe it doesn't translate well to 2 dimensions, but did the artist make the work as a representation of an actual object, or is it an abstract piece?
You know, I guess I have to give day care and early schools credit for validating the kids artwork, and making them feel good about their accomplishments, but there are days when it's taken a tad too far. Not that this is necessarily true with Finlay's work, but....it's true with my kiddos' work from time to time.
