GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A new sculpture is going up in downtown Green Bay.
Oneida Nation artist and Turtle Clan member Mark Fischer will install the commissioned sculpture, Among the Aspens, in the public plaza at the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation’s new location on S. Washington Street.
The sculpture includes three bronze and copper aspen tree interpretations ranging from 12 to 16 feet tall.
Fischer says aspens represent community-based elements as all of their roots are interconnected.
“It just shows the strength of Green Bay, and I just love the symbol of the hands of the community, coming together to make the community better, and that’s one of the great things about Green Bay is that they come together, and all cultures can walk together and make a difference,” he said.
It took Fischer about three months to build the sculpture.
