MEREDITH — Three Meredith organizations — Meredith Village Savings Bank, GMP Sculpture Walk and the Meredith Pathways Committee — worked together to bring the sculpture Red Wing to the entrance of the Laverack Nature Trail at the MVSB trailhead.
Created by Hugh Gibbons, the Red Wing sculpture was part of the 2015-16 GMP Meredith Sculpture Walk. Upon his death in 2017, his family donated it to the Meredith Sculpture Walk Committee. Retouched and cared for by local artist Steven Hayden, it was displayed at the 2023 Gala celebrating the Meredith Sculpture Walk’s 10th anniversary.
A former professor at University of New Hampshire School of Law, Gibbons was an accomplished sculptor and graphic artist, exhibiting his work throughout the country, including exhibitions in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, Florida, and California.
The Meredith Village Pathways Committee monitors and maintains the Laverack Nature Trail, and is pleased to have it installed at the MVSB trailhead. The name Red Wing evn complements the trail as Red Winged Blackbirds make the wetlands along the trail their habitat.
