After being selected by the Public Art Committee, Meg White made a scale model in low-fire white clay. It shows a mother fox and her kits to be made of bronze and fastened to a limestone tree.

The raw stone block is delivered to the studio.

Meg begins to carve the stone.

The tree begins to take shape.

The tree nears completion.

Meg begins to make the foxes by creating the basic structure in hard wax.

She creates the final forms of the foxes in plastiline clay.

The clay forms are custom fit to the stone before being sent to the foundry.

The finished bronzes return from the foundry.

The carved tree is moved out of the studio where the bronzes are attached.

The completed sculpture makes the 1,000 mile journey from the studio to its new home.

It takes a big crane to install the sculpture because the site is so far from the road.

The sculpture is being 'tweaked' into its final position.

The fox family takes up a permanent residence in front of the Sarasota Health Department.

The end of a long day; at least the truck waited till after the installation to break down.
