3 An early December wind storm not the last one, but the one before predictably broke tree limbs, knocked out power and so forth. It also toppled a monolithic sculpture of 5,264 plastic egg cartons built by Brooklyn-based artist Carlos Reyes in a Quonset hut on a back road in Searsport.
The piece, titled “saltwaterfarm,” was the centerpiece of the third iteration of Waldo, a nonprofit art residency and exhibition program founded by Tobias Czudej in 2018 as a vehicle for experimental exhibitions of new artworks.
