Sam! If you will let me be, I will try them. You will see . Say! I like green eggs and ham! I do! I like them, Sam -I-am!
These catchy lines popped into my mind as I observed, “Green Eggs and Ham” , the beautifully crafted bronze sculpture. My mind was blissfully flooded with childhood memories as I strolled through the gallery of the Center of Contemporary Arts that is conveniently located across the street from Monks.This sculpture is a tribute to Green Eggs and Ham brought to life by artist, Leo Rijn.
