Yes, six degrees of separation and all, but this stuff continues to be scary. I was checking Bruce Sterling’s blog<\/a> this morning; there’s an entry where he mentions that ‘I’m staying at Cranbrook — in this guy’s house<\/a>‘. ‘This guy’ is Carl Milles<\/a>, a sculptor I was unfamiliar with but whose work (in 2D and on a computer screen, unfortunately) I like. So, I’m reading the wikipedia entry on Mr. Milles when another name jumps out at me – one of Milles’ sculptures is ‘Sven Hedin on a Camel’. Hedin<\/a> traveled though Asia and the Mideast<\/a>; I was reading The Silk Road, Trade, Travel, War And Faith<\/a> over coffee this morning. Here’s a bit of an image dump inspired by all this.<\/p>\n

One of Milles’ sculptures, with work by an artist I was already familiar with (I’m not completely ignorant!) – Dale Chihuly:<\/p>\n
