The buzz of the chainsaw is gone, but the buzz on campus remains. The life-sized bear outside of Wingo Hall is now complete. Iowa sculptor Gary Keenan completed the carving outside Wingo Hall in four days.
Curious bystanders watched as Keenan climbed up and down scaffolding, using at least three different chainsaws to create the black bear. Art classes from the Conway School District visited Keenan, along with faculty and staff.
All four Little Rock television stations, KARN radio, the Log Cabin Democrat, Arkansas Democrat Gazette, Echo, and other media reported on Keenan’s progress as the worked to transform the stump.
If you missed any of his work, use UCA’s social media networks to catch up. See a variety of photos on Flickr and two videos on YouTube:
