Taken from a side window, which was in a small glass room that was open, but after emerging from taking this photo the lady told me I wasn't supposed to go in there. Well, how am I supposed to know THAT? Some lady had just come out of there so I assumed it was ok, there was no sign and the door was open...sounds like a public space to me!

This is the mean child choking a bird...why don't they teach THESE sculptures in general art classes? I find this one much more entertaining and interesting than many other pieces of sculpture I've seen.
