From the artist's website link, we learn that "Charlie and Glenda live in Floyd County in the Blue Ridge Mountains of rural SW Virginia in a 100 year old farmhouse they have renovated. 9 acres of open fields and woods, with 20 outdoor sculptures placed along a 1/2 mile walking trail, surround the house and studio. Charlie calls their place "Out There" because of its remote location at the end of 1 & 1/2 miles of gravel roads but, also because he believes that art can point us towards thoughts, feelings, and meanings beyond our immediate experience."
