Dear Editor:
For many years I have taken part in the Elora Sculpture Project. This year I exhibited Oracle; a large figure examining a stone in his hand, a smaller one beside him, the two of them wondering what the future will bring. This sculpture was located on the corner of Geddes and Metcalfe Street.
On Oct. 16 we gathered at the Elora Centre of the Arts to wrap up the exhibit. It was time to take down the sculptures, make room for the ghosts and goblins as Elora is getting ready for Halloween.
What a disappointment to find part of my sculpture missing. Someone has taken the small figure. I cannot imagine why.
Whoever did this has removed meaning; the two figures belong together, now he is alone; shared wondering was so much easier to bear. Please return it to me.
You could drop it off at The Elora Centre of the Arts or put it in our mailbox at 5949 Wellington Road 26. Do you want a small sculpture? I would gladly let you have one of my other small pieces.
Rosalinde Baumgartner,
Erin
