A Trip to the Art Museum

I wanted to share two photos I recently took at the greenway surrounding the NC Museum of Art. Along the path are permanent sculpture; some with a natural theme, some just odd. Here are two of the latter:



Called Collapse I, this piece by Ledelle Moe is a set of concrete legs terminating abruptly just above the waist. I refer to this piece as "The Butt"





I'm afraid I don't have information on this installation, but I just don't get North Carolina's obsession with these rings. There are at least two more exhibits just like this one. Giant demon fruit loops, or mega ear gauges. Is this what tattooed gutter punks dream of?
