Greetings,
Very cool sculpture, and I had never seen this before either. I made a comment in another thread about how easy buprestids are to pin - just "grab and stab" them. Had no idea one could go this big using that method!
Here in Pittsburgh, there is a similar sculpture on the campus of Carnegie Mellon University. However, it is a long silver pole mounted on an angle, with several people walking up it. At the base are several sculpture people watching. Every time I drive by that, my eye is tricked into seeing the sculpture "observers" as real.
Cheers! Bandrow
