Iris Jazz Club Cuba

Music: breathing of statues.

You language where all language ends.
You time standing vertically
On the motion of mortal hearts.

by poet Rainer Maria Rilke

I have showed you the figures at the front of the Olympic Club here.  But at the back, the entry to the parking garage, are 9 female nudes.

The sculptures are by Michelle Gregor.  Michelle has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from University of California, Santa Cruz and Master of Fine Arts degree from San Francisco State University.

“Her style is described as emblematic of the unique Californian style seen in art, as it is not too representational, but has a certain serenity and spiritual feeling about it. She comes from a generation that blazed the path of abstract expressionism in the Bay Area, specifically for female artists.”  The California Aggie
