Had fun at the Birmingham Museum of Art today.

Had fun at the Birmingham Museum of Art today.  There is an artist from Alabama named Frank Fleming that we looked at in class who I really liked, and much to my delight, they had a bunch of his work on display.  It is there until August 9th, so I'm planning to go back before it leaves.  I'm SUPER hoping that Emily and Laurel can go with me.  Maybe Jennifer would even like his work.  It's animals mixed with people!  The "Alligator with Purse" is one of my favorite pieces.  I said "I hope her bag is made of human skin."  Got a couple of weird looks, but hey, fair is fair.  🙂  Her cane is topped with a human hand, so I just assume I'm right.  😃

He's got sculptures scattered about Alabama, so you've probably seen his work before.  He's got the sculpture titled "Turtle Stack" at the zoo, and also the "Goat Storyteller" at Five Points South.

Anyway.  Check out his work on the museum site if you can't actually make it by there.  It's super neat!
