CloseIn 2001, the sculptor, Celeste Roberge, created the first Cairn sculpture...Rising Cairn. The piece, a galvanized wire frame in the shape of a kneeling man, was filled with rocks to create a cairn and placed in a location along the Maine seacoast. It was such a unique example of hot-dip galvanizing as art, that it was selected as the 2001 Excellence in Hot-Dip Galvanizing Award in the Artistic category!
Based on past performance, this sculpture will be going strong for many years to come.
The continuing ability of this piece to withstand the harsh Northeast seacoast environment for almost 15 years with no sign of rust, lead to another commission... Walking Cairn. Based on past performance, this sculpture will be going strong for many years to come.
