Alice is 12,000 pounds, 50 feet long and made of mirror-polished metal.
The Okanagan’s newest celebrity has arrived, and at 35 feet tall and 12,000 pounds, she's a force to be reckoned with.
The statue, lovingly nicknamed "Alice" by her creator Stone, took more than two years to design and build, made of mirror-polished metal and featuring intricate details. It was originally estimated to be 17,000 pounds but Stone said Wednesday that it ended up being around 12,000 pounds, and 50 feet long.
They arrived in Penticton around 3 p.m., and took a further five hours assembling the giant art piece on its concrete pad overlooking Okanagan Lake. "So Frank reached out to me and he said, 'You know, that's a her not a him,' And I'm like, 'Okay, Frank. It's a her.' And then Alice just stuck ever since."
