Reflecting Pool - a photo on Flickriver

Reflecting Pool

A pair of glass cast feet poke out from under a hedge of coleus plants at the edge of a reflecting pool. The water in the pool has been dyed red. This is part of Ebony G. Paterson's show at the New York Botanical Garden, "...things come to thrive...in the shedding...in the molting..." According to the New York Times article, these cast-glass body parts might evoke slavery and colonial violence. I didn't even notice them until my friend pointed them out. And when I rested my camera on the pool ledge and took the first shot, I was pleased to see that the incoming light picked up the red and reflection in the water.

The Times reviewed the show in June, and when I first saw it in August, the outside garden was very different and somewhat overgrown. After the intense summer rain, it was unrecognizable by the time I saw it again with friends this week. But the foam vultures were still on guard, looking worn and tired. It looks to me like they were moved around during the show, It's a very odd, disjointed show with a very awkward title.
