The Stones

 This is a receptionist's desk in the cancer department of U.V.A. hospital. It is made of stones.




The artwork hanging above it is called "Bouquet - Stoneware & Forged Iron" by Janice Arone.



“If you kick a stone in anger, you'll hurt your own foot.”

~Korean proverb

Love the proverb and the desk and art work are so dramatic.
I really like that this is an original and not just some IKEA furniture.

That is unusual and unique. I think I Better do the Alphabe Thursday like the days of Jenny Matlock. Gets my brain to be use it's full potential. Since I used two U words. HeeHee! I love things that are different. I'm not into the new suburbia houses that look like cardboard cutouts of all the others. Glad we have brick!
