Here’s the video of Niki telling about how she made the sculpture and the process involved in getting it to the park!

The program:

☙ Opening remarks – Jen Tooker First Selectwoman

☙ Comments about the sculpture project – Nancy Diamond co-chair WAAC

☙ Introducing Niki Ketchman – Nancy Diamond

☙ A few words from the artist – Niki Ketchman

☙ Closing with a poem from our poet laureate – Kathie Bennewitz to read the poem.

Here’s how the sculpture got to Westport’s Pasacreta Park along Riverside Avenue.

We prepared Passage for pick up from our home in Westport and enjoyed nice weather for the transport. But we endured a cold, steady rain along the river to install Passage. There is a cement slab below ground level to which the solid base of Passage is attached, so the sculpture is well-secured beneath the surface but appears to be standing on the ground. You can see the process in action in the clips below.

I’m so excited for my mom! To learn more about her work, visit NikiKetchman.com
