This bronze fountain, featuring two young children at play with a sea creature, now stands in the very heart of Chautauqua – before the Visitors Center in Bestor Plaza. It was originally installed at Norton Memorial Hall in 1929, but was moved to Chautauqua’s central plaza in the 1940s. I was told that the children who modeled for the sculptor were twins. Officially known as the Norton Memorial Fountain, some locals simply refer to it as “The Twins.” I moved in on the figures to emphasize the strikingly incongruous effect of oxidation on their features.
