Art in Public Places - Box #1
Franklin County, Ohio
Placed 1/27/02
Difficulty: 1
The 1st box placed in the series: Art in Public places. To find the
area where to look for these letterboxes all you have to do is go to
http://www.sculpturecenter.org/oosi/oo.asp. Once here you go to
searching oosi, you can either enter the artist name or the name of
the letterbox title under advance query. This will take you to the
site about this sculpture and where it is located. Once you find out
where to head then read the clues to find the
letterbox.
Boston Artist Ralph Helmick created this Sculpture of the Wyandot
Native American Chief Leather lips in 1990. The sculpture is a 12-
foot high portrait of Leatherlips. The head is a composite structure
of various sizes of native limestone stacked and mortared. The head
is open on the top and extended back along its sides, creating a
small enclosure, which enables you to have a view of the river.
Once you arrive at this park, go to the bronze plaque that tells about the sculpture. After reading the information look at 342 degrees. You will see a set of stairs going to the lower level of this park. Start down the steps, at the fourth big post on your left, stop. Look South (180 degrees). 5 paces from this post is a tree with four flat rocks piled at the base on the uphill side. Under the rocks is the letterbox. You can easily get to this tree from the bottom or top of the hill.
