This morning was a little bit different than most mornings at the Miller-Ward Alumni House.

One of my tasks since the first week I started here was to take one of the walking tours on Emory’s sustainability map. I took the art walk tour—and also brought some friends along—Kristin and Matt, who are the other interns at MWAH. (You can read Tammie Smith' 08Ox 10C post about how the map was built right here.)

At first, I was nervous to take this tour on my own because I have never explored this campus. Luckily, Matt, who graduated from Emory in May, was our fearless leader on this exploration of the artistic side of Emory. We braved the humidity and threatening clouds while we stopped at the different art installations around campus.

Each art installation has its own unique story and look to it, whether it is a sculpture with a long, thorough history or an object simply named “Untitled," which was actually one of my favorites. It was an almost creepy looking chair-fit for a small child-that had claw-like feet and snake-like shapes that slithered up the back. It was the weirdest chair I've ever seen. It is even weirder that no one could think of a name for it.

"Stone Grove" was another art installation that stood out in my mind (probably because of the extremely awkward photo Kristin and I took there). When I first saw the name "Stone grove," I pictured an arrangement of stones similar to Stonehenge. It actually looked nothing like it--it was two skinny rocks shaped into chairs. However, we were not disappointed! We had a chance to take a load off of our feet while taking in the Emory scenery.
