oona's ode to ron mueck



We took the kids to Ron Mueck's exhibit at the Warhol museum back in March. His work is unbelievably good, so realistic and the way he plays with scale, it's mind bending. Also if you watch all that he does to make just one sculpture it's incredibly intricate and way toxic (I thought refinish furniture was a toxic activity). It was interesting to see his work next to Warhol's piss paintings. Mueck's artistry blows Warhol's away. Can you tell that I'm not a huge fan of Warhol. He seemed like a vapid, troubled soul sucker.

Oona's also bending my mind, in different ways. She's pretty much potty trained by now, occasionally will have an accident but doing very well for a month into the potty training. The thing is if she doesn't want to nap or go to bed at night she will take off her diaper (I do still put her in one for sleeping although it usually stays dry) and pee on the rug in her room. Or, as was the case a half hour before these pictures were taken, she peed all over her sheets and stuffed animals. Oh yes, she looks angelic but she's really quite cunning.
