What is it? Isaac Gnuton, the gravity gnu I made as part of the Gnus of Gnu London. The Gnus of Gnu London featured 27 artist-designed and painted gnus (or wildebeests) around the New London, NH area. The animals, made of fiberglass, were on display throughout the summer of 2009. Isaac Gnuton has a periwig and is decorated with decals of apples. He was hung in an apple tree and counterweighted with a giant apple. Many thanks to my sponsors, Hilary Cleveland, David Cleveland and Robert Jensen.
