The Rankin Deer, a 45 x 35 antlered creature. This trophy was created between October 1997 and October 1998. The group of six to eight people worked every Sunday throughout the course of a year to complete the project. The piece was made using all recycled materials from the site; steel tubing, steel structural metals, copper wire, and rubber hose. The abandoned Carrie Furnace is all that remains of the former US Steel plant Homestead Works in Rankin Pennsylvania.
