Recently I visited

Grounds For Sculpture

in Hamilton, NJ.  This place is A-MAZ-ING, I’ve never seen anything like it.  GFS is a sculpture park and museum  founded by John Seward Johnson in 1992.  I heard about GFS a few years ago but had no idea how really unique and quieting to the mind and spirit GFS is.

The sculptures were fantastic …

even thought provoking like the one below… which one is the real one?

But it was the tableaux, often hidden away in secluded settings that I enjoyed the most.

In some cases I felt like I was intruding.

In others it was more like walking through a different century.

And in others still… mind games of sorts.

‘Forest of The Subconscious’

I’m pretty sure MY subconscious doesn’t look like that, but who knows.

I loved my visit to Garden Of Sculpture, I felt very content here, I hope someday to go back and see more of it.  It’s not possible to see it all in one trip,  each winding path, or secluded glade leads you off in another direction.
