Sculptor Justin Dahl speaking at the unveiling of his work



Note the cut ribbon at the unveiling   ...   "... six sets of stacked spools on casters, each set has multiple oil paintings depicting cultures that make up the cultural diversity of the community and the immigrants that settled in Black Rock, both past and present."



Inspired by a kaleidoscope toy - appropriate for a playground for Black Rock children   ...   Rings intended to be moved to interact with the three figures that adorn its sides.
