Nero3 Riverbox

Nero3 Riverbox was created by artist Giancarlo Calicchia of Cleveland in 2011 as part of the Riverbox Tributary project. “The soul of the earth is stone,” says Calicchia, who is also a geocacher. “My aesthetic and conceptual approach to art is based on my early childhood in the mountains of Italy. I’ve known nothing more inspiring and more graceful than the earth that we walk on. Urban art must tie into the natural environment that sustains us. I was born on a traditional Italian farm where everything we wore or consumed was grown or made on site. My passion as an artist is a continuation of this tradition …”

Calicchia works in natural materials, primarily stone. His artwork can be found in Italy, Mexico, Haiti, the U.S. and Canada.

 

Ferris-Wright Park

This Riverbox was previously located at Homestead Park, in Hilliard, Ohio.

Ferris-Wright Park  preserves and showcases ancient earthworks, a farmhouse and natural features of the space that are a significant part of Dublin's history.

     

 

CLUES: Head west from the parking lot and cross the bridge.

Take an immediate left to pass the stones and look for the gathering of five tree trunks. If you've passed the silo, you've gone too far.

At the trees, take the small footpath toward the babbling brook. There you'll find what you are looking for ... the Riverbox is joined by a piece of artwork that really changes your perspective!
