From the artist, Dale Weiler: This piece is part of my Petroglyphic Paradigm Series. As was the case in all the pieces in this series, my first glimpse of this beautiful beast was as a two-dimensional petroglyph on the back of the stone. The bas-relief of the rhino came afterward on the front. The stone possesses the perfect dusty quality for the rhino sculpture.

We have donated this sculpture to the Milwaukee Zoo for their new black rhino exhibit. We can’t wait to see it installed.
