Climbing "For Handel"

April's Theme Day is "Red."

One of the Bellingham childhood rites of passage is climbing this enormous red metal sculpture on the Western Washington University campus. Called "For Handel" by Mark Di Suvero, it looks more like a piece of playground equipment than a piece of art to the ten-and-under set. To see our previous post on it, click here.

  1. What an interesting sculpture and perfect for today's theme. It looks rather dangerous for these little children but I suppose they never get that high. Love that art can be used like this.

  2. I kind of like these sculptures. Having the children on that photo just adds so much. I do hope they don't go right up and try to slide or jump down.
