Bedard doesnât consider himself an artist, but rather as someone who sculpts, by sculpting the land in his business. He often comes across boulders in his work, and realized he could use a wire saw to cut through them and create sculptural pieces of art, instead of simply disposing of them. This repurposed stone was formerly part of a nearby bridge, and excavated in preparation for the Broad Street Parkway.
You can learn more about this piece, and other sculptures and murals in the Downtown Nashua area, by downloading our FREE art tour app to your smartphone.
