My Favorite Hanging Sculpture

If you continue down Tower Street past the water tower and dumpster, you’ll see my favorite hanging sculpture in all of Raleigh.

If you look at the solid colors and you’ll notice the original life of the pieces of the whole–fiberglass chairs. It’s a familiar design, and the pieces when fit together create a beautiful geometric shape that adds an unusual splash of life and color to Tower Street.
