The city of Des Moines, Iowa is in the middle of finishing a huge area downtown that is public park area filled with amazing sculptures such as this one. A local businessman donated a pile of art from his collection gathered from artists all around the world and gave it to the city.

The rumor is though that these are strictly to look at, and not to touch. That alarm systems are being installed to tell people to 'back away from the public work of arts' if the come too close. Hmmm.

Nice little show here in Des Moines last night. Hanging with Linda, the owner of the cafe was a highlight. Sitting on the back stoop of her house telling and listening to stories and laughing hard, love that stuff. I feel grateful for people like her around this country. People who I have worked with, who have become good treasured friends. Yay.

So, I was told if you walk into this sculpture and look up, the word you see is 'gay'.

Hee hee.....
