In far Northern California, there is a metal artist named Ralph Starritt whose sculptures have become iconic landmarks for the region. One of his most well-known works is a pair of giant metal cows that stand along Interstate 5, which truckers use to designate location instead of town names. Starritt has been creating public art installations since the 1970s, and his sculptures can be found throughout Northern California and Oregon. Now, at 79 years old, he is embarking on a long-term project to create Native American themed sculptures along Highway 96. This blog post will explore Starritt’s work and the impact it has had on the local communities.
Ralph Starritt may not be a household name, but his sculptures along Interstate 5 in far Northern California have become iconic landmarks for those who have driven through the area. One of his most famous works is the giant metal cows that stand along the highway, which truckers have adopted as a way to designate location. Starritt’s sculptures have become an integral part of Siskiyou County culture, and he is now working on a long-term project to create Native American themed sculptures in the region. Despite being 79 years old, Starritt continues to create public art installations and his work can be found throughout Northern California and Oregon. As a serious bigfoot researcher, I can appreciate the impact that Starritt’s sculptures have had in bringing communities together and creating iconic landmarks.
