Jesse Salisbury Tidal Moon

Tidal Moon, Portland International Jetport, Portland, Maine

Tidal Moon is an abstract sculpture located just outside the Portland International Jetport exit comprising two large split curved granite columns, which elevate a smooth granite sphere. The sculpture was sculpted from a 12-ton block of Jonesboro, Maine granite using ancient splitting techniques. Some surfaces were left with rough facets that catch the light, others were polished, evocative of the smooth surfaces of tide tumbled stones.
