The sculpture is finished up & ready for installation at Riverside Park next week sometime. After over a year of planning & talking & thinking--it's finally done!
Pictured here are myself (looking fat--nice pose, lol) & Montry Smith: owner of Blake Trailers & Fabrication; where the pieces was built. We had a little unveiling today for press & those involved in the project: thanks to everyone who came out to see it :)
We got pretty close to the original design: I'm very happy with the overall look of the piece. Looking forward to seeing it in place: the courtyard is ready & waiting for the final pieces; including the sculpture & the wall of names. The finished project will be dedicated on September 11th: I'll be posting more info on times & details as I have them.
The sculpture will be on display all this week in front of Blake Trailers in Star--you will see it as you drive by. Anyone is welcome to stop in for photos & you can see the vision board in the office.
Working on this project has been surreal from the beginning: & I'm so honored to have been able bring my vision for the beam into reality. Everyone who has worked on this project has been so generous with time, money, etc--I think we all felt the same: privileged to be a small part of such an important moment in history; & hoping that we have created something serene that pays tribute to all those who were lost.
