Restoration of 'Serenity' turtle at Blake Library delayed by heat; staff expects return by early fall
Summary
Staff said Brenda has resumed work on the 'Serenity' turtle restoration but extreme heat has slowed tile adhesion; staff expects the piece back in the Blake Library courtyard by early fall if conditions allow.
Staff updated the committee on the 'Serenity' turtle that had been sited at the Blake Library, saying conservator Brenda has been working to piece it together but hot outdoor studio conditions have slowed tile adhesion. "As we all know with how hot it is outside... she has an outdoor studio that has been put on halt," staff said, and noted they expect work to resume next month with a projected return to the library courtyard by early fall.
The briefing did not include cost estimates or a firm completion date beyond the seasonal window; staff asked for patience as the conservator waits for cooler conditions that will allow adhesives to set properly.
