DOOM art

[King Bob]

I thought I'd revive this thread to tell you about this. Back in the mid 90s someone brought over some tribal artists from New Guinea, and they made sculptures and created a little park on campus at Stanford. (I discovered while looking at the campus map to find the music building.) The works are both in wood, and in stone (California pumice from Mono Lake). There are some 10-20 ft high multi-figure wood pieces, some painted poles,  and two large slit drums, as well as the stone pieces. Also the carvers saw Rodin's "Thinker" on the other side of campus, and did their own.

Highly recommended if you like Oceanic art. There's an Atlas Obscura page with nice photos and some explanation. It's in a grove of trees and quite peaceful too.
