This sculpture was created by artist Mark Toncray for the “Grow Your Own Sculpture” program sponsored by the South Haven Center for the Arts.
“Dune Anchor,” by Mark Toncray, was inspired "the intersection of our influence upon nature and nature’s influence upon us.” After a thirty-year career as a working artist, Toncray creates spare images that are "stripped of complex techniques" borne of "gesture; almost three-dimensional sketches."
