Carving a place in history
For two years Polynesian “master carver” Shane Eagleton has been teaching disadvantaged Californian teens the ancient art of mallet and chisel. Employed by the One Voice arts program, the NZ-born artist/ecologist has helped his students to create one of the first permanent September 11 memorials. The totem pole, carved out of an ancient 2oo foot cedar log, will stand at the Bronx Zoo.
