Haven
by Miles Chapin
Location: Brunswick Station
Installation Date: June 2015
The sculpture stands in a deserving location for such a significant work of art, at the entrance to the town's transportation center, a busy hub of downtown activity. The sculpture's siting and size both send a clear message to town residents and visitors alike that Brunswick is a community that values art. It is carved from a single block of American Black granite, and when combined with its Barre Grey granite base, stands seven-feet high and weighs over 11,000 pounds. Click here for a video of the installation and the unveiling ceremony that celebrated this amazing gift to Brunswick.
