The sculpture depicts two bathtubs on tall poles.In the North Bay, a new public art installation in Petaluma is already surrounded by praise and controversy and hasn't even been officially dedicated yet.Some have threatened to vandalize the work, so police are providing protection."Once I've removed the padding and added the details, it's really going to pop," said sculptor Brian Goggin.
"The title relates to lifting something heavy over our heads and balancing it in a way that creates tension and mystery," said Goggin. "Ultimately it's our responsibility to protect people and protect property," said Petaluma Police Lieutenant Matthew Parnow. City officials say "Fine Balance" cost Petaluma about $150,000. It's been moved and scaled down from its original site on Water Street to a location on H Street.
