It appeared at first we had conflicting answers to the last Mystery Photo.
Al Hombroek of Snellville identified the location as Stone Mountain Park, saying: “The creature in the Gwinnett Forum just might reside at Stone Mountain Park.” Well, it did for a while. It was a part of a show called “Mega Bugs” of individual creepy crawlers that you could get up close with and be enjoyable for a bug lover. It appeared last, best we could tell, in 2019.
But now, Bob Foreman of Grayson says, “…is one of the super-size creatures in the Mega Bug exhibit at Callaway Gardens, Pine Mountain, Ga.” George Graf of Palmyra, Va. and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. also identified the photo. Peel writes: “The mystery photo is of a giant Madagascan Fire Millipede sculpture, part of the Mega Bugs Exhibit. The Mega Bugs Exhibit was introduced in 2020 as a permanent feature at Callaway Gardens and has over 73 enormous sculptures spread across more than 28 scenes. This particular sculpture is over 50-feet long. In real life, a Madagascan Fire Millipede is a blazingly red, non-poisonous arthropod that is typically only four-inches long.”
Snellville artist’s work on display at City Hall
Snellville artist Joel Sturdivant’s work celebrates nature, and is now on display at City Hall. His exhibit, “An Eye on Nature,” is currently on display in the City Hall Community Room. There is a reception of the work from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. April 30.
Sturdivant has a bachelor’s degree of Fine Art from the Atlanta College of Art. He has contributed to Westmont College’s charity art auction and many of his works are now on display in private collections throughout the Southeast.
He says: “Many of my works contain various planes, an idea I developed while in art school,” he said. “I use these planes to manipulate time and space. I violate parameters in an attempt to enter the space of the viewer. By stacking planes, I can move between seasons, or centuries. I sincerely hope you enjoy this exhibition!”
