One Man's Art is Another's...Legs!

It is truly hard to believe—not so much in the way it looks (it looks just as its creator intended, semi-lewd) but hard to believe that the residents of Henderson allow Ricky Pearce’s “Legs” sculpture “represent” the town, located about 45 minutes north of Durham

Pearce, using concrete as his medium, has created a set of female legs, spread brazenly apart, that extend outward at angles for 40 and rising to 17 feet at the knees.  And, to fulfill the image, the shrubbery around  were the legs part is always neatly trimmed so that, seen from directly above, there’s no mistaking the ground work for anything but what it represents---you know what I mean.

Across the street, oddly, is a pair of high heel shoes. A trellis bridging the woman’s thighs says Reminiscing.

It must be seen to be believed.

It is in a rural part of Henderson, just shy of the Virginia border.  Just ask anyone where the legs statute is! Every local can tell you exactly where to find it.

Truly an oddity, you must check out Pearce’s hand leg work.
