    Remarks: 
    The sculpture is a public art project commissioned by the Manchester Parks and Recreation Department and the Manchester Art Commission for the Stark Street Crossing Visual Art Project, a Amoskeag Heritage Walk Art project. The cost of $24,000 was funded in part by matching grants from the Norwin S. and Elizabeth N. Bean Foundation and the Samuel P. Hunt Foundation. It was the first artwork commissioned for the Merrimack Riverfront-Millyard District. The dedication of the sculpture took place during the opening event of Riverfest '88. Landscape architects Brown and Rowe, of Boston, designed the Stark Street Crossing site.
