At Sixes & Sevens...

Imagine popping out for your elevenses and ending up at sixes & sevens!

Came across the art exhibit/group of sculptures today in London.

"What's that all about?" I hear you say.

"NUMBERS ONE through ZERO is a monumental example of Robert Indiana’s long-held fascination with the power of numbers, a subject which stands as one of his most important iconographic themes. Indiana has famously credited his enduring interest in numbers to the formative experience of moving households multiple times as a child – living in twenty-one different homes by the age of seventeen – while he has also emphasized his embrace of the variety of meanings and associations that numbers can generate. Describing his enduring attraction to numbers, Indiana has emphasized that “each one loaded with multiple references and significances.” Every number has a specific personal resonance for Indiana, relating either to events in his own life (such as highway routes and buildings where he lived), or to the cycle of life itself. For Indiana, the number one represents birth, with the numbers ascending through adolescence to maturity, ending with the number zero, which stands for death."

21 houses by age 17? Sound's like he was 'at sixes & sevens' too.
