I first decided to visit the capital building. However, today was the day of the State of the Union address, so the whole capital was off limits. Bummer. I decided to revisit the American Indian museum. My wife and I had visited it a few years ago when it first opened. It was very crowded and we didn't get a chance to really spend time exploring. I got there around 10:00. Being a weekday, it was not crowded.
I came across an exhibit of sculpture by an artist named Brian Jungen. He is from British Columbia. His work was very interesting. I really liked a set of totem poles he created. Can you guess what they are made from (answer below)?
I was really interested in these as we are going to Alaska in June and might get a chance to see some totems. Brian Jungen's work uses everyday objects to build his sculptures.
Okay - the answer is golf bags! He made these totems from golf bags.
Very cool!

that is so neat! (and random! Golf bags?? Who would have thought to use them?)
Thanks for stopping by the blog and l really like the golf bags. Thanks for sharing. Where about is your house in VT?
We rent a place in Vergennes. We have a house in the Finger Lakes area, but I have taken a new job back in Vermont. We lived there for 13 years. We are really excited about moving back, seeing all our old friends, and enjoying the countryside and Lake Champlain.
