Brian Goggin at SMF

A friend traveling sent me some photos from the Sacramento airport of public art so whimsical it had to be shared.Brian Goggin created 2 sculptures entitled "Samson" that surround columns in the SMF baggage claim area. The 700 pieces of hard case luggage seem to balance precariously, 23 feet high, on luggage carts bearing the piece's name.And don't forget local building codes -the fire alarm is still intact......in the midst of the luggage!

Many thanks to Bob for the photos!

    I have seen his work before and it has a sense of whimsy and witty nostalgia. I think a collection of anything stacked looks great.

    You mean these all are lost suitcases?? If yes, that is indeed a great way to remind the passengers that if you will lose some thing, it will stay with us even after years!
