Transporting a 14,000 lbs anvil required a team effort
Possibly the world’s largest sculptured acoustic anvil – still to be decided by Guinness World Records – has found its new home outside the BC Farm Museum located in Fort Langley.
Moving the anvil was a spontaneous decision made last June, Pickerell said, when it had come up and Rob offered it to the museum. It was designed by artist Maskull Lasserre in 2018 as part of an art display for Vancouver Biennale, which it resided at for two years. Then the anvil was moved to False Creek, where it remained for another two years before it was brought to Burnaby.Lasserre titled the piece Acoustic Anvil: A Small Weight to Forge the Sea to represent the physical convergence of both real and imagined histories.
Pickerell explained the anvil is also a symbol of early pioneer life, when everything was made on an anvil before welders, and said it fits in well at the farm museum.
