Description

Black and white photograph of two large intersecting wooden beams with various metal tools and objects attached, set in an overgrown outdoor space. “23rd Station of the Cross,” 1990, by H. G. Brack and Sune Noreen, is made from two heavy wooden railroad ties laid out in a cross shape. The ties are joined and are wrapped by thick, metal logging chains. A post hole digger lays on the ground behind the form and rests on the shorter cross beam. A large iron ring lays at the top of the longer beam, on the right. Nearby, a short column sits upright with a circular metal object placed on it. The surrounding area is filled with wild grass and other vegetation, and a rustic fence is visible in the background, reinforcing the outdoor setting. 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.) (See NA4800.)

Save Outdoor Sculpture! (SOS!) (1990-1995) was a nationwide survey that ran from 1990-1995 documenting America’s outdoor sculpture. Established in 1990, SOS! helped educate local communities about America’s endangered sculptural heritage. The Maine Arts Commission was one of 106 organizations to participate in this survey.
