" Remember " , a black granite sculpture of a goose , stands in the peony garden at the headquarters of Maine Audubon in Falmouth , Maine . Lyford created " Remember " in the aftermath of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill . He chose black granite because the color recalls a seabird covered in oil . He originally called the sculpture " Thanks , Exxon " , but changed the name to encourage people to remember the costs of environmental , manmade calamities
