Kaleido-Raffe

"Kaleido-Raffe" by Metal Malfeasance of Rochester Hills, Michigan welcomes guests to the Geary Family YMCA located at 154 West Center. Brought here as part of the 2023/2024 Midwest Sculpture Initiative exhibit, this sculpture measures 10' x 5' x 3'. A private donor provided funding for the Fostoria Area Visitors Bureau to purchase this sculpture to remain at its current location permanently.

ARTIST STATEMENT: With its slender neck arching towards the heavens, the gentle giants of the African savanna and woodlands symbolize the ability to see into the distant future and obtain what seems out of reach. This whimsical and colorful giraffe represents a bright and positive future. The graceful lines and colors of the sculpture reflect the sunlight in a rainbow of color as if the viewer is seeing a giraffe through a kaleidoscope.
