I would like to know more. Do you have a link to an article that describes them?

It looks like they were at least initially funded by the Maine Arts Commission:

So they should be crushed by ice or sent down river in a spring flood. What's your fucking issue? And the name calling is really mature!

Arts purpose is for arts sake. Why do you care what others do with their time and money?

Thus you're a jabroni goober

Then pull them up on shore so they can be enjoyed for years to come. They are supposed to be in the Skowhegan gorge as floating fire pits. Leaving them to be destroyed is not art. And I believe the artist would be pissed. Thus your an asshole
