Afro Pick: Don’t Go, Don’t Grow - Norwalk, CT - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

This sculpture is located outside the new Norwalk Art Space. It shows a woman coming her daughter's hair sitting on top of a large hair pick.

From the museum's website:

"Our curator, Yvonne Shortt, is one of the three selected rotating sculptors. Ms. Shortt is a public installation artist creating work focused on African American culture through her series titled, “African American Marbleization: An Act of Civil Disobedience”. Ms. Shortt currently has over 30 public art installations on view throughout the tri-state area and is building a boat to harvest clay from rivers and creeks to tell African American narratives.

Ms. Shortt’s "Afro Pick: Don’t Go, Don’t Grow" draws from her own experiences as both a mother and a daughter. It depicts a moment of transition; of taking ownership and letting go. It does so using an object with a rich cultural history over 5,500 years old.

*The top pice of the Afro pick handle will change every so often in celebration of my African American narratives so keep stoping by."
