These grand girls of music reside inside the music building at UNCG. The sculpture spans 3 stories from the base, to a globe to the girl on the bell of the horn. We didn't see a description of the artwork or an artist's plaque. If you know about it, please share. It looks as if the woman is playing to a little copy of herself. Perhaps this represents the reflective process of thinking about your playing, how you sound, look, and what you think of your playing. Other than voices in the head, music in the ears, what better way than to see yourself lifting your your arms, pursing your lips, blowing air through the mouthpiece and making music!!!
If we had one wish it would be for someone to clean the cobwebs off of this work of art-- oh, and remove the nickel from the bell of the instrument. Nature brought us the cobwebs but student humor brought us the nickel for your effort!
In the ABC Wednesday meme world, this week's letter is "G" and "G" is for Girls!!!!!
Nice sculpture. I like the little listener on the trumpet. It's very cute.

I like that "simple" design of the photo - well in style with the sculpture. The Gnome on the trumpet dotted the i.

It's a very attractive piece of sculpture, one that you'd like to feel and touch but if it's three stories high, I suppose that's not going to happen! I'd love to know more about it.

I recognize the work of Tom Otterness.
He also has a series of many sculptures in the 14th Street subway station in NYC and many more sculptures scattered around (including Toronto).

Interesting sculpture, especially the little creature at the end of the trumpet. How high is the creature if the actually statue is 3 stories?

Wow. It has the look of an old-fashioned cartoon.
