Intriguing looking sculpture whose bright red color is certainly an attention getter. With its suggestive curves, one has to wonder exactly what it is. The artist, Charles O. Perry has concentrated on large scale public sculpture, through which he both celebrates and also questions the laws of nature. As is the case with abstract art, the question of what it is, is in the eye of the beholder. Is this work a question mark, or is something entirely different?
