The Beauty of Decay

Posing with Onny Huisink's Decaying Puppets

These puppets are part of series of art installations of puppets by Onny Huisink. The puppets are left around the globe to decay -- to become casualties of their environment. Visitors are asked to take photos with the puppets to document the decay. As members of the four generations in my household pose with the puppets, I realize that the photos we take also document the beautiful decay and development of my own family.

Lady Desert: The Venus of Nevada

There's a giant naked lady in the Nevada desert. She didn't escape from Minecraft. She is the cinder-block creation of Belgian artist Hugh Heyman.
