In the land of distinctive sculpture, there must surely be a place for this thing:
At first glance, it looks more like something you'd find at a strip club, instead of a quiet neighborhood.A backhoe contractor, Ricky Pearce poured concrete into hand-drawn molds to create the 40-ton, 17-foot-high legs. Then, he lifted them into place with a crane.
Complete with some landscaped foliage, strategically placed, the display is making some folks chuckle, and others shake their heads in disgust.
With, for once, pictures! Also nice to see people being level-headed about the whole thing: "The Vance County district attorney told NBC-17 state obscenity laws may stick, but he has more important crimes to worry about."
The good,the bad and the ugly. Everyone thinks something different . Opinion, main thing , its yours, depends on what you like . Mine is I love women , I am a artist so I decided to do this sculpture for myself so the public could see, not to discriminate on religon or color or no shame, its the human body, what you are told and tought , no fear just love . This is my symbol, my flag, my fun, My hobbie . Enjoy Artist Ricky Pearce
