The Lady and the Dove, Al Baldwin

The Lady and the Dove, Al Baldwin
2012 Found art (mounted and framed by Melissa Patrick)

Alan retrieved this little piece of trash on the sidewalk on MSU’s campus because he saw an interesting shape in it. When he got to his office, he explained what he saw to Melissa, who framed it and kept it in their offices. When Alan died, Melissa gave it to our family as part of his Vietnam Wall offerings. Alan always saw beauty and treasure in cast offs and dedicated much of his time to restoring, repurposing, or reusing them.
