I spotted this incredible sculpture on the net and wanted to share Joe's art. Goldie, a sculpture by University of Alabama graduate student Joe McCreary, will be a focal point of Woods Quad through December 2009. The sculpture symbolizes the shutdown of Birmingham's Sloss Furnaces and the decline of the iron industry. The artwork, which may weigh as much as 2 tons, brings a dynamic change of pace to viewers absorbed in UA’s academic life. For more on this awesome sculpture -
