Jun. 2--The final pieces of the Wild Ricing Moon sculpture at UMD are being delivered and assembled today.
The first half of the huge outdoor sculpture was erected in October 2005. That section consisted of a steel circle, 40 feet in diameter, representing the full, rice-harvesting moon of late summer.
The pieces being added today includes a section representing a stalk of rice. Sculptor John David Mooney describes the sculpture as reflecting the North Shore of Lake Superior and natural features of the region.
The sculpture will be 89-feet tall when complete. It stands near the Swenson Science Building.
