Underwrite the Goldenrod Crossroads Pedestal

This pedestal occupies the intersection of two branches of the sculpture trail, a sort of crossroads where visitors either continue down towards the lowland area which will eventually support a pond and wetland, or instead circle around to the farmhouse and the future site of our sculpture workshop. It is set against a stand of wild yellow goldenrod, providing a long-lived, brilliant backdrop in the late summer and fall.   

A concrete foundation is already in place. Anchored directly to the bedrock, it will accept work of almost any size and weight. The plinth will be installed at roughly ground level. A softscaped base will allow visitors to approach and directly interact with installed work. On the downhill side it will rise approximately 30 cm above grade, where it will be clad in natural limestone. Visitors approaching from the lowland area will be exposed to an interesting perspective where the work appears to perch above them.
