Description

Black and white photograph of a metal spherical sculpture mounted on a base, set in front of leafless bushes with a wooden post and a sign nearby. “Flower #2,” is a sculpture by David McLaughlin, 1990. The image shows a small outdoor area with a metal sculpture composed of several interlocking rings forming a spherical shape, mounted on a vertical rod and cylindrical base made of metal. The sculpture stands on two small blocks of wood placed on the ground amidst fallen leaves and grass. In the background, there are dense, leafless bushes and, to the right, a rectangular sign leaning against the undergrowth, while a wooden post or plank appears on the left edge of the photograph. Geronimo Sculpture Garden, located in Hulls Cove, Maine. The garden was established in 1990 by H.G. “Skip” Brack, a tool historian and art lover. 1994. Jill Linzee, photograph. (See p16198-p16226.)
