Our recent trip to Arizona included a stop at the Phoenix Convention Center. We were attending the annual National Rifle Association convention and gun show. On our way into the exhibit hall, we passed several zany insect sculptures in the plaza just outside.
I paused by the scorpion and took the image pair to create this anaglyph.
According to the Convention Center website:
“Social Invertebrates,” Tom Otterness – Three large, whimsical bronze sculptures of desert creatures, enlarged to human scale. The creatures include a millipede with a hat and shoes; a walking stick in high heels, and a scorpion holding two small men in top hats tugging at a bag of money. Accompanying sculptural elements of people, scaled down to Lilliputian dimensions, interact with the creatures. The sculptures are set in a unique water-harvesting garden at the public plaza located near the southeast entrance of the North Building.

I saw a cleverly-worded post on one of the blogs I read the other day. This deals with our state’s current financial woes. Personally, I think the writer is on to something the state really needs to consider before closing state parks and laying off fire and police services.
