This beautiful sculpture by Brad Spencer was commissioned by the Brick Association of the Carolinas in honor of the North and South Carolina Chapters of the American Institute of Architects. It stands at the Tryon Street entrance to The Green, a fun vibrant urban park near the Convention Center and The Mint Museum.
From one angle, it looks like three kids climbing over a wall to go play. From another angle, the wall is shown to be the covers of a book. The detail of the children and pages of the book are beautifully rendered in brick -- Blasterz really liked this sculpture.
