| In
the bronze bas-relief "Whaling", the helmsman of a small
whaleboat directs five rowers towards their ship, where crew members
are working on a carcass. The bronzed flight of clouds across the
horizon and the pitch and swell of the sea give added depth and
realism.
Sculptor
Sarah Peters recently created a series of eleven bronze bas-relief
plaques for the town of Falmouth, Massachusetts. Commissioned by
a group of public art enthusiasts known as "The Committee to
Encourage Public Art", the plaques represent many of the historic
industries that were significant to the town. After each plaque
was completed (a process which took ten months to complete and three
weeks to cast), it was permanently installed along the sidewalk
that abuts the library lawn on Main Street.
