Brides of Time

Statues covered in plastic draping at the Louvre

Statues covered in plastic draping at the Louvre

I love watching art restoration work in progress, especially when the technicians are actively working on things. These statues were in a wing of the Louvre that was undergoing repairs and covered in a great deal of dust. The plastic draped over them made me think of bridal veils.

In other news, I’m updating this site with a new theme (my old one broke) and upgrading to Gallery3 from Gallery2 – not exactly a painless process so far; it’s still in beta and I’m jumping the gun a bit…

I particularly like the one on the left. It really does look like "her" hands are clasped in front of her as though in prayer, and is headed for the alter.
