While driving around downtown Kansas City one afternoon, I cruised past an area devoted to a particular sculptor's artwork. It was a nice day, so I stopped to linger and inspect the garden of metallic delights.

Crossing the parking lot, I noticed the back of one building was covered with interesting murals created by a local artist, whose work I have long been fond of viewing. For the most part, the images consisted of imaginative characters posing on the wall. Setting alongside this gallery was a large metal sculpture in the process of being fabricated.

Returning to the open field, I took a close look at four prominent 3-dimensional works. One featured a large concave disc with serated edges. Another was a silvery antennea-like form, perhaps akin to a detail one might find atop a skyscraper tower. A third object was an intersecting bundle of black beams. And finally, on the ground sat a circular shape with pieces extending out like arms and legs.
