Have you seen this whale sculpture exhibited?

I got to see this impressive whale in the gallery of the Indian Museum at the Smithsonian, it is made completely from stackable white plastic chairs.

That is a striking image. I guess there is a Native American Picasso out there somewhere.

He is Native American, and not a traditionalist. This warrior is made of baseball gloves.



He has a half dozen great 'First Nations' style Pacific Northwest masks all made from only Nike Air Jordans. His name is Brian Jungen.

Jungen is just the kind of 'half-a-bubble-off-plumb' artist that really floats my boat. Strolling among his golf bag totem poles was unforgettable. The 'whale bones', I hope, made my post topical.

That kind of stuff blows my mind. I guess you have to look at things at least a little differently than anyone else. :cool:
