Moosehead Moose on the Boardwalk
Right beside the Boardwalk at Market Square is a life-size bronze statue of a moose. It was created by Forest Hart for Moosehead Breweries, the original New Brunswick beer brewery. This statue is eye-catching and many people like to have their photographs taken beside it. The moose is a natural icon for this province, because in New Brunswick, this member of the deer family is very plentiful and can often be seen by or on the highways.

"Time Piece" – by John Hooper
(in collaboration with Jack Massey)
"Time Piece" is a clock tower with a difference. All the carvings are related, in some way, to man’s involvement with time. The serpent grasping its tail is a symbol of eternity. The group at the top of the column are “passing time”. How to tell the time has not been explained by the artist since he wished people to have to “puzzle it out”. There is no face or hands on the clock - instead, the serpent (and the four figures above it) slowly rotate around the top. The snake’s tail is the “pointer” or “hour hand” and as it reaches the hour there are two numbers or hours to choose from - one is obvious since the observer is usually aware of the general time of day. The structure and the carvings are of Honduras mahogany; the sealant is epoxy, the bench and structure are stained; the carvings are painted with acrylics; and the gilding is gold leaf. An AC synchronous electric motor drives the clock’s mechanism.

"People Apart Moving Together" carving at the Trade & Convention Centre – by John Hooper
This is a larger-than-life three dimensional painting –sculpture of a crowd of people coming through one of the arches. They’re moving; they’re in a hurry. Although they’re together in one space, nothing has connected them. They exist in their separate worlds.
