Art can preserve a feeling of what a period or moment in time was like.
Later this week, the Keweenaw National Historical Park, the Keweenaw NHP Advisory Commission, Isle Royale and Keweenaw Parks Association, and the Quincy Mine Hoist Association will unveil three new sculptures at the Quincy Smelter. The unveiling bookends a year of work for artist Kasey Koski. The sculptures will depict the workers and families that were living in the copper country at the peak of the copper boom.
Koski uses metalwork in the latest addition to the national park grounds. She is also the artist who created depictions of miners walking home from a day’s work near the Quincy dryhouse ruins.
The unveiling will begin at 10 am on Wednesday at the Quincy smelter.
