Blazterz love the unexpected and incongruous, and this sure qualifies! Jim Huntington is an artist whose works decorate spaces all over the world. In 2000 he decided to pack up and relocate his studio to tiny Coupland TX, a near-ghost town in Williamson County Texas. This art installation of sleek modern sculptures of stone and steel is the last things you'd expect to see in this dusty agricultural area.
There is no visitor center or plaque outside the studio, but if the artist is working inside (or outside), you are welcome to go inside and see the smaller works inside the studio. T
he sculpture garden is available to enjoy any time. Both studio and garden are located 2 blocks east of TX 95 at the intersection of Hoxie street and N Broad Street. The garden contains 30-40 sculptures on land about the size of a large residential lot.
Blasterz walked all over the garden, and enjoyed all the works. But at the end of the day the consensus favorite piece reminded us of the tornadoes we have seen skipping over the plains. See it in the gallery.
What's your favorite?
We hope you enjoy this waymark!
