"Entelodont,'' by Robert Shannahan, in the "Art on the Trails 2018'' show at the Beals Preserve, Southboro, Mass.  The show includes 18 outdoor art installations in the Beals Preserve.   The theme of the exhibition is "Unexpected Gestures''.  The juried works  were created and selected with the setting of the preserve in mind, contrasting and blending with its woods, meadows, trails and ponds.

Southboro is a rich Boston  outer suburb, with snob zoning and lots of open space. It is well known as the home of a prestigious boarding school,  St. Mark's School, founded in 1865 by Joseph Burnett. It also hosts  the nation's oldest junior boarding school, the Fay School, founded a year later  by Joseph Burnett's first cousin Harriet Burnett Fay.
