Final stop


Terrestrial Horizon by Chris Plaisted 

This was the last of the sculptures in our hunt for the Temporary Sculpture exhibit in Wake Forest.  I deepened the shadows in this picture to show the depths and lines of the work.

Sculpture scavenger hunt


Sun and Earth Feather by Kirk Seese.
This entry in the Temporary Sculpture Exhibit was by the playground at a soccer field.  I wasn't sure if it was the sculpture I was looking for until I found the companion piece a few miles away on a street corner.

Sculpture exhibit


We went on a hunt to find the sculptures featured in the Wake Forest Temporary Sculpture Exhibit.  The sculptures are placed around town, so we gathered the addresses, and went to look.


This one is Orpheus, by Charles Pitney.  We found it in a wooded park.


The music notes at the base must have spilled from Orpheus's lyre.

The whole mural is immense and beautiful, but I like the hands the best.

Happy birthday, two year old


The Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral was dedicated July 26, 2017.  


It's an impressive building, sitting on the grounds of the old Catholic Orphanage.
Happy Birthday to the new Cathedral.

If Mother Nature Could Dance





It looks like a mural, but it is a cling.  The painting is printed onto a plastic sheet that is then placed on the wall for temporary display.
It is part of Spotlight on Wake Forest Artists exhibit. This one is on the wall of the Renaissance Centre.


We were lucky to find the artist, Maureen Seltzer, there checking out her work.


She talked with us about how she did the work.  It's  actually a collage, with real leaves, printed pages, and music sheets.


 Her website has a video showing her technique, it's fascinating.
