St. Michael, a polychrome wood sculpture from the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, where I worked my first real job and checked on him every day, hoping that no more paint chips would fall off of him, but if they did, I would gather them up and put them in an envelope. As a museum registrar, I viewed the works in the collection as my children, and he was my favorite.

Big foot and drapery are from a (yet-for-me-to-identify) sculpture at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.

Mimmo and Houseaga works from the NOMA Sculpture Garden, from photos of a field trip to the NOMA Sculpture Garden in the fall of 2020 with my class in a light rain: Would it even be any better to own these sculptures? Or is it just as good or even better to be able to come and visit them whenever I want to? Poetry belongs to those who need it.

Hand – after photographing so many feet of sculptures and statues, which is something that I do just based on my height and where my eyes go in any sculpture garden, it was a pleasant surprise to see a hand where a foot should be in the Enrique Alferez Garden, also in City Park, New Orleans.
