Sunday sights.

This weekend we out downtown to do some walking around, window shop, and also have a really great lunch. I decided to only use my lensbaby on Saturday as a little bit of a challenge.

The Burlington City Arts center has a free art museum and they had some new exhibits that we have not seen before. The first part of the exhibit was all clay and it was really fantastic, since Ronnie does pottery he really enjoyed it.

The exhibit was called "Dysfunction" Burlington City Arts says "Beginning with the exhibition’s title, a playful pun, Dysfunction presents artwork varying from beautiful and precious to surreal and grotesque in an effort to initiate a dialogue about our own assumptions concerning ceramics."

A few of my works of art were "Ladies in waiting" by Jessica Putnam Phillips, "Shirt" by Shae Bishop from Bakersville NC, and "Wobble Table" by Brooks Oliver from Helena Montana


Patnam's work is based off the concept of women "serving". This concept was very beautiful and the colors she used were just fantastic...but you also know of my love of pink and gold. I love vintage decals on ceramics!

 

Do you see that shirt? Oliver created small ceramic tiles and stitched them together to create this shirt. The colors and details are marvelous and I cannot images the hours taken into a piece like this.

 

This table WOBBLES. The table swings and the objects turn around the table. These pieces balance on this table while somebody pulls a lever. It's an amazing installation piece. I honestly didn't think it moved until the museum docent pulled a lever and oh my goodness. I'm not sure why I didn't take video of it. I'll make sure to go back so I can share it with you!

We went to this place on Church Street called The Red Onion and oh my- The sandwiches are amazing! Their Red Onion sandwich is to literally die for. It has turkey, red onions, bacon, apples, and this amazing sauce- I don't even know what kind of sauce it is! It's a heated sandwich too which are truly the best. The sandwich I got was roast beef with lettuce, horseradish mayo, pickles, and sprout...it was very good as well but The Red Onion...oh man. Not only is their food good but their décor is just so cute. They have these amazing pink walls and fresh flowers placed on all of the tables.

 

 

 

 

Have a good day. Have a beautiful day. Have a blessed day!
