"Brainstorm"

By Pamela Reithmeier of Monclova, Ohio, "Brainstorm" is made of steel and penetrol. It stands 6' x 3.5' x 2'by the Fostoria Learning Center entrance at 342 Perry Street. This piece was on display in Fostoria through the 2020/2021 Midwest Sculpture Initiative exhibit. Through the generosity of private donors, the Fostoria Area Visitors Bureau received a donation to purchase this piece to remain in our community permanently.

ARTIST STATEMENT: "I love to see people interact with my sculptures. Whether it is a nod of the head, a smile, or having their picture taken with my pieces; it does not matter as long as there is a connection in some way between the sculpture and the viewer. I have found I am drawn to making sculptures inspired by nature. I particularly enjoy the permanency and strength of steel and the mental and physical challenges that come with working in this medium."
