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.”
