Analyzing the flora, fauna and “chemtrails” at the intriguing Earthstone sculpture in the arboretum at the Turtle Bay Exploration Park in Redding, CA.
Investigating Colleen Barry’s primordial Earthstone sculpture dedicated to the diverse flora and fauna in the Turtle Bay botanical garden.
The Idiot didn’t have to look too closely to identify mosaic tiles depicting leaves, stones, fossils, bark and creatures.
The 14,500-pound sculpture took the artist a year to create and its setting complements the arboretum’s nature and sky. Perhaps ignore conspiracy theories but is there a message associated with the position of the “chemtrails” on this sunny winter morning?
