AMAZING "ALAMANCE READS" ARTWORK

Remember that sculpture I told you about? The one that includes every single item mentioned in BLUE?

It's finished. The delightful Ann Hobgood coordinated an incredible effort that included listing all the items, collecting them and then working with young folks to compile them into one moving piece of art. And I'm not talking about wheels although it has those also.

I'm saying this thing chokes me up.

Take a look at this slideshow to see a bit of history and literature commemorated in a Saturday of community art.

(Notes: The blue circles contain quotes from the book which explain the items. Ann Hobgood is wearing overalls.)
