Went to the MFA in Boston with the kids and friends. Two huge baby heads face out from the Fenway side. I thought about how that person might have been trying to express the depth of feeling and joy about seeing a baby born. Perhaps they agonized over how to exhibit and re-experience this sublime experience and struggled to make 15 foot baby heads. It occured to me alot of art is like that, trying for a feeling you could get by eating peas straight out of the garden and having a good bike ride.
