(Kind Of) Athens Life - The High Museum...

Even though I grew up in Georgia, lived here 75% of my total life and now live only an hour or so from Atlanta, I'd never been to the High Museum of Art.  How?  How did this happen?  Well, regardless, Brady and I remedied that situation on Wednesday when we took a quick jaunt to the A-T-L to a) get his keyboard repaired and b) take our minds off his impending unemployment.  Yes, the hubby is losing his job and Athens is losing its original video store...ah, thanks urban sprawl and the ever growing lack of community that's running rampant around the world.  But that rant is for another time so let me get back to the museum, ya?  Ya.

Here are some of my favorite snapshots:


That's a Pyrex iron in the corner there!


Recyclable chair options = pressboard and, yes, crochet...









This installation was about the civil rights movement and grabbed our attention like nobody's business...





Howard Finster = amazeballs

We allotted ourselves 3 hours to see the sights and it still wasn't enough time.  That means we just might be heading back to Atlanta again soon...maybe for a belated anniversary getaway?

Just to clarify...these images are not of my own artwork.  Oh, and I don't know why in the heck my skirt is doing weird flippy things either.

P.S.  I'll be back tomorrow with the rest of the 100 Before 40 goal list!
