It’s interesting how quickly images become recognizable to us. I realized this when I was riding my bike past one of my favorite Carrboro yards owned by Mike Roig, metal sculpter. We Carborroites have had the privilege of watching this talented artist create an eye-catching art garden on Main Street, filled with larger than life works of solid and moving metal - all a unique combination of abstraction, everyday images and symbolism. I’ve strolled through before, enjoying the view.
Yesterday, I turned my bicycle after seeing another looming piece set in the landscape. Here it is in all its hope and glory.
