I appreciated the Weekend Gazette’s editorial “Important conversation about art.”
I love public art, and adore the simple metal Valley scene that adds to the charm of our truck-eating bridge and bike path.
And I’m sure I wasn’t paying attention to whatever committees and discussions were going on at the time, but wish I (or someone) had weighed in on the gender stereotypes that seeped into the townsfolk in the scene. I see all the silver silhouetted men working and all the silver silhouetted women walking babies and dogs every time I lug my briefcase into town for work.
And I almost always walk by a guy with a stroller.
