Cutter, Woodland in the City 2007
Tuesdays are when I watch a show called Forged In Fire so I thought about this squirrel that I saw in front of a knife store in Olean, NY.
This is from the Woodland in the City website:
Artist: Nora L. Wilson-Wheeler, Bolivar, NY
Sponsor: CUTCO Cutlery Corporation
Location: CUTCO/Ka-Bar Visitors Center, East State Street, Olean
In the Artists words: “Cutter” as he has become known to Nora and her family, was an inspiration of the sponsors’ corporate segway. With the understanding of the sponsor’s image to represent common household usage, simplicity was a basic. Their new knife the “Santuku” was her choice to represent Cutco. Not only did it look good with Cutter, but I also liked the way it felt in my hands-not to mention the performance it actually obtains in reality. Everything falls together with the placement of the acorn at his feet. After all, what else would a squirrel need a knife for?
Bio: Nora L. Wilson-Wheeler majored in Art at Cuba Central School and Graphic Arts at BOCES. She obtained an AOS Degree from Olean Business Institute. She has also published different stories, poems and compilations of local family heritage.
