“Children and adults alike gravitate to Horace Farlowe’s multi-piece sculpture Zoological Egg Rest, 1994, (cover) which also doubles as seating. Located in the North American habitat at the N.C. Zoological Park in Asheboro, Farlowe’s massive marble sculpture melds architectural forms with elements of nature. Nesting on the horizontal elements and the pavement are enlarged marble eggs from different marshland bird, animal and reptile species. A nearby sign identifies each egg.”
