I like modern art. I like sculptures. I don’t make that kind of art, I sculpt & paint with words! I live in an area where we have several outdoor sculptures all around plus an outdoor sculpture center.
To me experiencing other kinds of art is necessary to help foster your own. Art is a way of life, in my opinion.
The setting for the sculptures I saw on Friday is an old school out in a North Carolina valley near where the real life story of Tom Dooley and Laura Foster took place. It used to be a private boys school then a private school, a science center and now an Arts Center.
It was inspiring to me to walk around the setting, to enjoy the great outdoors and to see how each sculpture was enhanced by their surroundings. I’ve always believed that place does shape how you live, how you see the world and also if you make art it affects that, too.
Here are a few of the sculptures I saw. They are located at the WNC Sculpture Center in Patterson, NC. Some are permanent, some are from an exhibit. I’ve just included a few of them here. They are all spectacular because like I said Art = Life.
