It’s #ThoughtfulThursday and we’re taking you for an art close up! These details are part of an artwork in the MSV Collection. What do you notice about it? What do you think it’s made of? Do you see any familiar shapes or objects? If you could touch it, how would it feel? Roadhouse Siren (2013) by Neil Stavely of Horse and Hare bears a striking resemblance to iconic American music legend Patsy Cline. This piece is made by combining irregular shaped wood panels which are carved, painted, and joined together to make a sculptural piece. Does this information change how you see the details? #theMSV #MuseumFromHome #art #exhibitions
