      Then you definitely haven’t heard of the Carrie Deer

      In '97 a bunch of artists snuck into an abandoned steel blast furnace to make a giant deer sculpture out of material found on site.

    Thank you for the share! May I ask what is the actual location, the map coordinates of the place?

      It’s in Calgary Alberta. In Signal Hill behind the Indigo bookstore. You can see some sandstone at the base of the hill. Someone carved this on the rock directly

        So this is engraved even! Holy gracious smokes! That’s an ineffably awesome work achieved by an artist with a great experience…
        Roger that. Heartfelt appreciated! This is a miracle indeed…

          It’s all the more impressive given the fact that the wider picture is surrounded by liminal alleyway, discarded pallets, and truck delivery parking. Someone just made it for the love of the game.

            they made it in a spot where your average person won’t go and touch It for funsies and take photos and share the location with others to go put their hand it hands on it and so forth.

            soon there will be gates up, and signs, then nobody can see it or the original artist will come back and get arrested for vandalism.

            nothing good comes from sharing hidden gems publically imo.

              Nah, it’s pretty ephemeral when you see the original spot. It exists for a finite time, whether shared or not brother.
