John Ong of Sacramento was awaiting a friend’s arrival at San Francisco International Airport when he leaned over a railing and was confronted by a sculpture garden.
“I’m not really much into art and all that. I love the colors, though,” he said, when asked to describe what he saw. “They could look good at my house for sure.”
Ong’s difficulty in summarizing what he was looking at is the point of this new permanent public art installation by Gay Outlaw, a San Francisco artist known for her dry Southern humor.
