    An abstract, playground sculpture in the form of a large creeping insect, with tires for the body and logs as the six attached legs. The head and tail are made of branched tree posts placed in the ground, and there is a series of vertically placed poles set down the length of the body that have a web of chain strung between them. The same type of chain is used to form a web from the end of the main body to the top of five tree posts that make up the tail.

    Remarks: 
    The cost of sculpture was a little under $2,000. It was partially funded by a grant from the Artists in Education Foundation which paid half of the artist's salary, with matching funds from the school. The Kerr Center for Sustainable Agriculture was also awarded a grant to buy materials for the sculpture. The school had funds earmarked for playground equipment when the artist presented the idea of "environmental sculpture that the children could play on," and it was accepted. The artist designed the sculpture with the help of the students. IAS files contain a related article from the Stone County Leader, Jan. 29, 1992, pg. 9.
