Walking home from work yesterday, I came upon this nine foot bust of Benjamin Franklin at 4th and Arch Streets. I stopped to take a few photos – it wasn’t until I got home and looked at the photos that I noticed\u00a0the texture of his coat was constructed\u00a0using thousands of keys.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sculptor James Peniston visited elementary schools in the city to talk about Franklin, and requested that the\u00a0children bring in old keys from home.
