Description
Castor Constructed is an interactive public art sculpture that consists of welded steel beaver forms, textured steel 'ribs' that form the structure of the beaver's lodge and other materials placed around the steel to enhance the look of the river bed that runs under it. The artist's want to acknowledge the important role beavers play in the environment by providing beneficial habitats for many plants and animals with the creation of wetland ecosystems.
