Rockwood artist carves a totem to creativity Totem pole is a real trafficstopper but whos squashed on the bottom GeorgetownActon Wednesday Aug A Rockwood artist who now has been virtually unknown has created a sculpt thai is stopping traffic on 7 just north of hi home Soaring feel into the air John Van writs creation resembles a west coast Indian totem pole but unlike native art the piece contains human figures rather than the animals and birds usually depicted I work mainly with human figures said Vanderweit who is an honors graduate he fine art and landscape architecture programs the University of Traditional totem poles had many philosophical and religious connotations he explained and while my sculpture makes a serious statement it also has its humorous aspects The carving hewn from a 26foot sugar maple log depicts four figures of which the bottom one Is rather squashed Moving up the second third and fourth figures become more extended The statement 1 am trying to make is rather like life itself with he low man on he totem pole bearing the weight of the world and the op man with a smug look on his face has been released from the burdens of life Vanderweit said The decision to erect the carving in front of Rockwood Roof Truss was a bit of fluke Vanderweit said I was working on a few smaller wood carvings at the time and I was on the lookout for suitable pieces of wood to work on he said When he saw the log sitting in front of Roof Truss he approached Peter he owner of Ihe business and asked him what he Intended to do with he wood Dudnick then became Intrigued with work and suggested that he build the sculpture out front of his business A Towering above ground this by Rockwood artist John Van- can be seen In Rockwood Rockwood on The structure Is
