Recently, we had a TikTok get... well, a lot more views than we're used to getting. The video, which showed a mysterious white creature in the woods, garnered way more attention than I expected or was prepared for. After seeing the interest in "the thing in the woods" we reached out to the woman who created it to learn more about the animal hiding in the woods around Grand Marais. The mysterious white animal is actually a woodland caribou made out of metal rebar and burlap. He's one of three parts to the new art installation called "Once and Future" by artist Corrie Steckelberg. In this interview, we learn more about the "Once and Forever" art installation and what went into creating these life-sized caribou sculptures.
