Nature Belle (Staab)
Nature Belle, a public artwork by American artist Roy Staab, was located in the middle of a round-about at the intersection of the Hank Aaron Trail and 25th Street, near Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[1] A site-specific sculpture constructed from natural local materials, the finished bell was supported by a box elder tree and was approximately 45 ft. in height and 35 ft. in diameter.[3][4] Staab's ephemeral sculptures are constructed from natural materials such as reeds, willow shoots and bamboo.[5][6] His photographs are often displayed in galleries in Milwaukee, but it is rare for his home town to experience his outdoor installations.Karen Wolf at the Hank Aaron trail invited Staab to construct this site specific sculpture.
