An art installation at the entrance to the Hamptons known as the 'Stargazer' has been restored. As GusoffTV reports, art lovers helped the man who built it decades ago bring it back to life.
The original"Stargazer" was only built with materials to only last seven years. Just what is its meaning? The 50-foot high sculpture was designed in the late '80s by Morris's longtime companion, artist Linda Scott. A deer with an antler and its mouth gazing skyward after outwitting hunters with a universal message.
"She just had this feeling -- wow, if you're going to do something in life, you have to go for it. If you don't, you're going to be sorry," Morris said."We had to strip down everything that was there," Morris said."Reframed it ... I had to make patterns off the existing stucco ... put plywood over it ... We put flashing on the top, so the birds, if they go pecking on it, they're not getting through this time ...
At first, Morris's goal was to raise $100,000. He ended up topping $200,000. He now will raise more for its upkeep. Any remainder will fund new art.
