Local Sculptor Leslie Fry Publishes “Wild Life” Documentary Book

Sculptor Leslie Fry, who summers on her modest estate in Vermont and winters here in St Petersburg, has been getting great reviews on her new book “Wild Life“.

Leslie writes:

Hi Caleb,
Thank you always for your wonderful design of the map/announcement card for my park sculpture project last year. I also thanked you in the Acknowledgments of my recently completed book documenting the project:
Wild Life: A Public Art Project, is a 44 page, full color book available at *Lulu.com*
A six-minute video about the project, Wild Life Sculpture Search, can be seen *here*
The book, Wild Life: A Public Art Project, includes an essay by Dr. Nick Capasso, Curator, DeCordova Museum & Sculpture Park, who wrote:
“Wild Life thus acts as a vehicle for a multi-sensory awareness of place and nature. Through artifice, nature is found. The placement [of the sculptures] also intensifies their liminality. They live at the edge – of the wilderness, and of our perception, as if seen in the corner of the eye. Such slippage in and out of awareness is a profound metaphor for the dream world – the mental land where myths are born.”
