Not that there isn't anything else photogenic in Milwaukee... but this is an absolutely stunning addition to their art museum. This photo shows the "wings" in the open position.

It was a good decision.

Self-Portrait (in an Aalto Context)
This is a really cool sculpture on the east bank river bluff, by the U's new Education and Human Development building. It's made of two large boulders, but each one has a flat mirrored surface, and these face each other. I'm standing in between them.
One of the reasons I really like this sculpture is that its irregular edges remind me of the Aalto Savoy vase, one of the Finnish designs that I studied while in graduate school (focusing on the fusion of natural and Modernist forms).
