For this year’s Sanding Ovations, the sculptors played with the theme of fairy tales. Most of them carved twisted interpretations of the stories.

While it didn’t win a prize, my favorite was the Old Woman in the Shoe. The sculptor included a short poem, “There was an old woman who love in a shoe, she had no children, so she was well to do.” It definitely resonated.

The art was unveiled last weekend and suffered a bit from the recent rain but the skill is still very impressive.
