Soaking up the rays!



As I was venturing around the Wadsworth, I stumbled upon this woman. When I first saw her, I thought, what in the world is someone doing in a museum in a bathing suit and a beach chair? I was thinking I can’t be really seeing this! Of course, I quickly realized if the museum even allowed such a thing, who would do it? But doesn’t she look so real…



I couldn’t believe how life like someone was able to make this figure. As I leaned over her to take a picture, I felt like her eyes were going to open and I would have to explain to her why I was taking her photo! I just wanted to share this with you for those of you who haven’t seen her yet. It was pretty funny and interesting at the same time. Yet another form of art!

I was also stunned when I saw this woman lounging in the hallway, what a cool exhibit! It is so bizarre, I love it. Glad you posted this pic, which surprised me as much as the real thing when the picture loaded onto the page.

Thanks for the post! The shock of your encounter with this figure is in fact at the heart of the content of the piece.
