Last weekend's First Friday was extremely well attended. Great weather brought out people from all walks of life. In the above photo, at the corner of MLK Jr. Drive and South Elm Street, we see performance artist affectionately dubbed, "Golden Girl." In reality, this living statue bills herself as One Eyed Jane* She stands motionless for very long periods of time, and she does it masterfully. You may recognize this performance artist from Greensboro's Summer Solstice Event. If you see her, be sure to drop in a tip and tell her she is great. Living statues thrive on financial and verbal reinforcement! It takes a great deal of time, money, and effort, to transform oneself into a golden statue- from head to toe!
Beyond this living statue, we see the bust of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (seen, here). This corner is a dynamic spot in Greensboro. Dr. King never knows who is going to join him for the day.
*if you are interested in hiring this living statue for an event, contact her at oneeyedjane@gmail (dot com) or (three three six) 409-9195.
I have seen the living statue performance done here by an artist. It's quite enjoyable. You capture this artist beautifully.
