Sculpture Installed in Memorial Garden
A sculpture, commissioned by the GCF Community
Foundation from Durham sculptor Andrew Priess, was installed recently
into the James B. Cole Memorial Garden on the property of Goodwill Industries
of Eastern North Carolina.
When completed, the sculpture will also have a water feature. The artist
used the paper dolls representing Good and Will as the basis for the
piece.
It took over three hours to install the sculpture, which was delivered
to the property in three pieces.
