Architectural Detailing - Outdoor Sculpture

 650 W Washington St, Indianapolis, IN, 46204

This geometric sculpture depicts a collection of closely set structures, jostling one another for space, to create the effect of a stylized tribal mask. The bustling African-American community od the 1800s-1950s as well as the large coal and oil reserves are all elements of this piece.  Houses, a church and gushing oil well are all visible.

Designers Jeff Laramore and David Jameson Young of 2nd Globe, an Indianapolis–based artistic company designed all 92 and the county sculptures featured on the outside of the Indiana State Museum. Their designs narrate the counties’ famous natives, historically significant events, or their fabricated and installed by various Indiana sculptors, carvers, class workers, metal workers, and other artisans.
