Art on the Highline - Mutations Post 1
The Highline is an almost 1.5 Mile long elevated walking park in NYC built on what was in the past the New York Central Railway Spur on the west Side of Manhattan.
I do have some shots of the views from the Highline but for this post I will focus on some of the art on the Highline which changes from time to time

At the time that I visited the Highline a couple of months ago one of the art series there is called Mutations and this post will highlight some of the art pieces, starting with Aria Baremboym’s Mutations- Locus of control
I have seen it described as a seating sculpture but from the angle of this shot I took to me it looks like a nose?

I couldn’t find a description or details on the artist for the piece above I am not 100% sure what I think of it to be honest

The eve above is by Artist Max Hooper Schneider who says he has always loved non characteristic Flora and Fauna, the piece is a 10 foot long Marine Diaorama in a Vitrine.
if your wondering like I was what the heck a Vitrine is, its a glass display case
From a distance it looked to me like some sort of aquatic setup with sea grass, but it's actually made of natural and synthetic hair, and the stained glass look is his interpretation of an anti-tidal landfill.
It is cast in resin and is made up of bird feathers, french fries, minerals, gems and other gnarly things including worms a sheep embryo and all kinds of freeze dried fruits and vegetables.

The piece above is by artist Jon Rahman and is titled the Swallower swallowed and features a ring on animals including from what I could work out a Man, a snake, a horse and a dog, perhaps more that I didnt recognize,

I thought it was cool enough and needed a shot from another angle to be appreciated better
This posts just showcases a few of the pieces in the Mutations exhibit, I will be doing a second post with a few more of the art pieces,
I should note that when I visited there one morning the light wasn't ideal and I only had limited time before racing to work so I could get shots of them all, I do have more shots on and looking down from the Highline which I will share in future posts
