Mirror, Mirror

Today, the public school system here has something called "Teacher Records Day" which meant youngest daughter didn't have school. She hung out for a while with me in my office for a small part of the morning, then at the coffee shop where I continued to monitor my email.

After lunch, though, I put away my work things and asked her what she would like to do. She promptly said, "Let's go to the Chrysler Museum." Her class just went there for a field trip a day ago, but she wanted to go again. So we did -- and spent a lovely afternoon going through all the galleries at a leisurely pace.

One of their featured exhibits in contemporary art is the work of conceptual artist Daniel Rozin, whose pieces in his Mirrors series we spent considerable time looking at...

This Blip is of G mesmerized in front of Rozin's "Brushed Steel Mirror". We were also fascinated by his "Snow Mirror".

And here is "Intercession", my poem-response to The Morning Porch today, now up on Via Negativa. I used an epigraph from St. Thomas Aquinas, and a friend told me just a few hours ago that coincidentally today is the saint's feast day (I did not realize that).

PS - on the way out, through the Museum gift shop, naturalmente, G asked if we could purchase a little deck of cards for kids called "Careers in Art". Insert big smiley face here.
