International award winning husband and wife sculpture design team, Mark and Diane Weisbeck, the only artist finalists to represent both New York as well as the United States in the 2008 Beijing, China Olympic Landscape Sculpture Competition have recently unveiled a 32 foot tall, 2 and 1/2 ton solid brass and gold stainless steel public waterfront monument. The American made brass was hand patinaed to a beautiful blue/green. The gold dyed stainless steel was from Japan, as it is not available in the U.S.
Hailed as the "Gateway Signature Welcome Sculpture" to the city of Rochester, New York, "Water Spirits," was unveiled by the Mayor of Rochester on July 11, 2008.
A crane was used to lift Diane Weisbeck 30 feet in the air, so she could cut the ribbons and unveil the sculpture to the public.
The sculpture is located at Corn Hill Landing, Rochester, New York, USA. A New York State Department of State Grant was used to commission the sculpture.
