Abstract
Description
The sculpture, titled "Wild Ricing Moon" was designed by John David Mooney, a Chicago sculptor with an international reputation. The piece is 89-feet tall. The first half of this large-scale outdoor sculpture was erected in October, 2005. The first installation, a large steel circle, 40 feet in diameter, represents the full, rice-harvesting moon of late summer. A "rice stalk" section and bird was included in the pieces that arrived in June. Mooney described the sculpture as reflecting the North Shore of Lake Superior and natural features of the region.
