Description

Color photograph of a carved Maine bluestone boulder from the outdoor sculpture "Songo River Song" by Carole Hanson at Songo Locks School in Naples, Maine. The image centers on a large, roughly oval boulder set in a clearing with grass and dirt, with woods and a chain-link fence in the background. The boulder’s surface is carved in relief with the playful form of rabbit in motion — its long body, legs, tail, and head all outlined in simple, flowing lines. This is one of nine boulders in the installation, each featuring a different wildlife relief inspired by the Songo River. 1994. Unidentified photographer. (See p16909-p16917)(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.
