“This Sculpture is an imposing granite portrait merging the faces of the two arctic explorers who first reached the north pole: Admiral Robert Peary and Matthew Henson, an African American who served as navigator. Don’s interest in polar themes was piqued by U.S. Army tours of duty in Greenland during the Cold War. Later, one of his favorite venues to visit in Maine was the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum on the campus of Bowdoin College, Perry’s alma mater in Brunswick.”
