LITTLE HARBOUR, N.S. – A Nova Scotia artist believes five life-sized sculptures stolen from her property were taken by copper thieves.
Dawn MacNutt says she discovered Thursday that the works which had been on display outside her studio and home in rural Little Harbour, N.S., were gone.
MacNutt says four of the woven copper wire figures had been on the deck of the studio, while the fifth had been displayed in a nearby tree.
She says the works, which have been on display outside for 16 years, are worth thousands of dollars with one valued at around $4,000.
MacNutt says she has filed a report with police and even paid a visit to the local recycling depot to ask them to be on the lookout for the art pieces.
The artist says she had hoped to display at least one of the pieces during a retrospective show of her work planned for the Mount Saint Vincent University Art Gallery in Halifax in June 2024.
