Pinched Earth


I love how playful this outdoor sculpture is. Scale can totally change the emotion associated with an object.

Anybody know the artist?

It is Mehmet Ali Uysal. Funnily I saw this not too long ago and also thought it was intriguing.

it's most likely influenced by Claes Oldenberg.

This is like a more comical version of some of the Maya Lin Earthworks. She's most famous for making the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, DC but does a lot of other interesting art.
