This moose silhouette is one of many moose-themed art pieces by Canadian artist Charles Pachter. It's fabricated from corten steel, otherwise known as weathering steel, which does not require painting and forms a stable rust-like appearance when exposed to the elements. The steel from which this piece was cut is also on campus, forming a companion piece entitled Moosedemeanour. Both pieces were donated to the school by Pachter, a former alumni. He also donated a number of his letters and documents to the school's Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library.
