Bombs Away

Because some of you inquired about 'yarn bombing', here is a section of the sculpture "Michael" at One City Center after it was 'attacked' Thursday night. This piece of public art, by sculptor  John Raimondi, has been embroiled in controversy since it landed in Portland in May of 1975. More art for art sake.

  1. By "attached" do you mean that it was vandalized?

  8. I found "yarn bombing" on another blog and had to look it up. Seems like a rather odd kind of celebration; I suppose I'm missing something.

  9. Never heard of yarn bombing. In this case, it may be a good thing. What is that so-called sculpture?
