A colossal piece of so-called outsider art or art brut style, comfortably located on the territory of a California winery, will definitely be appreciated by fans of metal monuments.





During a trip through picturesque California, you come across all sorts of things. But a massive rusty coyote baring its teeth will surprise even seasoned tourists.



The 7-ton Coyote sculpture was forged from steel and designed in such a way that the head can easily rotate 360 ​​degrees in the slightest breeze. It can also be climbed for a photo.

"Coyote" is the brainchild of sculptor Brian Tedrick, and was first exhibited in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada at the 2013 Burning Man festival. The artist is best known for his giant creations, usually in the shape of animals, made from chunks of metal. Tedrick was inspired by the wanderers who attend Burning Man. According to him, these are "...people who love open spaces and living freely."



After Burning Man, the sculpture was displayed for six months along Highway 101 near Geyserville, California, as part of the Sonoma County Sculpture Trail. Afterwards, the owner of Wilson Wineries Group purchased the sculpture as a gift for his wife. In 2014, Coyote was moved to its new home at Wilson Winery in Haldsburg.



But given the coyote's nomadic nature, this may not be its permanent home, and the freedom-loving predator will once again head off somewhere in search of a better life.
