HRM Monument #24: Humagination



"Humagination" (a combination of "Human" and "imagination") is another piece of "Public Art" which graces Halifax beautiful downtown section. It was sculpted by local artist Adrien Francescutti in 1979, who also sculpted "Orzo" (or "The Kiss" as it is commonly known). The title for "Humagination" was picked by the artist's roommate from a contest the Francescutti held to "name this rock".
