KENNESAW Ga.
It took Finnish-born sculptor Eino roughly four months to rebuild the world.
His million-dollar stone sculpture, “Spaceship Earth,” mysteriously collapsed in December at Kennesaw State University. The artwork was intended to remind future generations of the Earth’s fragility.
After working since the end of June to rebuild the globe, he said this week he’s putting the finishing touches on it.
“It really looks nice,” said Eino, who uses only one name.
Eino had called the work “Spaceship Earth” to honor environmentalist David Brower, a leader of the Sierra Club. It depicted a bronze figure of Brower standing atop the globe. The founders of California-based PowerBar had paid for the $1 million sculpture.
