Creature Creations
By John Cyr

While driving KS Hwy 18 through Lincoln County one's senses are periodically confronted
by the appearance of metal sculptures that dot the
otherwise pastoral landscape.

Your
eyes notice them first; then the brain kicks in
with a "Wait a minute! That's not an old combine,
that's a dragon!"

And
over there. "That's the biggest ladybug I've
ever seen."

It's
about this point you once again begin to pay attention
to what you are doing and begin to seek out and
count the sculptures as you travel deeper into Lincoln
County.

Entitled "Creature Creations," they are
the product of Salina artist, James Dickerman. The
sculptures depict fierce beasts and overly large
insects, presumably seeking some place to hide or
else their next dinner...
