Outside the National Gallery in Ottawa is this spider sculpture. Fun to see, walk under and take pictures. I love this shot because it dwarfs the church in the background. Blending old buildings with new ideas is like life. We use the experiences we have to take on the new aspects of our life.Is life imitating art? Or is art imitating life?
I suppose it's all relative. Spiders were around long before the oldest churches in the world. They probably moved into the first church that ever was built within days of its completion. In another way, sculptures are often associated with churches. Some of the best known sculptures were made by artists that had a church patron and depict biblical persons or events.
