AMOCOCO

Amococo-Aerial-credit-Dan We are always on the lookout for unique, or different experiences. And my sister found one for us. Off we go to the Mesa Arts Center.

IMG_0488 Amococo luminarium is a sculpture people enter to be immersed in radiant light and color. Amococo is inspired by the beauty of natural geometry and by Islamic architecture.

 

 

IMG_0501It features winding passages of small domes inspired by repetitious forms found in the bazaars of Iran. All of the individual pieces have been cut and glued together by hand in Nottingham, England.

 

IMG_0499 I guess I don’t have the feel for art that this exhibit required. I am missing that artistic gene that could appreciate this type of thing and sad to say, so is Jim. Judy and Don felt the same way. The ushers recommended we stay inside for 20 minutes but 10 minutes was enough for us to realize it just “wasn’t happening” for us.

    Interesting but ..... I'd rather go to the zoo or to the botanical gardents.

    I think I would get claustrophobic.

    Interesting exhibit, but I'm afraid my reaction to it would be exactly like yours. A quick look and I'd have been outta there!

    Looks like you were walking through the chambers of a giant heart. It's different all right.
