Today Spun and I went to the Seattle Art Museum. We saw the Luminous exhibit, which showcased a ton of great Asian art. We saw the Great Wave and a handful of Chinese copper vessels from 1500-1000 BC that, coincidentally, I studied in an Asian Art History class at the University of Puget Sound. Stunning in real life. This is the Coat of Arms which is made of dog tags and has been on display for years. It’s near my favorite piece in the museum, the big black rat sitting on the sleeping guy. I love how the rat and the man are flat black and flat white respectively. Always what I love to see when I go. Below is a close up of the tags. It seems like they just go in forever.
