This metal dragonfly is comprised of deconstructed mobility devices. See if you can guess what they are! As Rheaume noted, the sculpture is a symbol of how people with disabilities are valuable, creative members of the community, that there is diversity within disability, and also how important it is to work together to achieve goals. The dragonfly was chosen, because, although it has legs on which to land, those legs don't actually walk. The insect must use its wings to move and fly.
On Thursday, September 10, 2026, the Franklin Sculpture Park, located next to the Franklin Police Station on Panther Way, grew a little more love, with two new exhibits, a Wind Phone, conceptualized by Amy Adams, who collaborated with fellow artist Peg Munson to create it, and a metal Dragonfly sculpture, dreamt up by artists Ali Rheaume and Donna Barrett, who received help from Tri County students Juliet George and Aubrey Keller, overseen by instructor Rick Tomasello, in its construction. The event also marked the inauguration of the Franklin Art Association's MicroGallery Collaboration at the entrance to the park. Franklin residents are encouraged to come on down to experience this great new artwork.
