The Posy is carved with the words for “little flower” in Spanish, Irish, English, and German, in celebration of the Little Flower neighborhood’s diverse heritage. The words are FLORECITA, BLÁTHNAT, FLORETTE, & BLÜMCHEN, respectively. Of particular note is the artist’s technique on the edges where letters meet.

This sculpture was originally installed on this same location as part of the Indy Art & Seek project with the Arts Council of Indianapolis and Keep Indianapolis Beautiful. The property owner purchased it from the artist so it could continue to brighten the residential neighborhood.

Eastside-based sculptor Truman Edison has been carving Indiana limestone since 2017, including commissioned and personal work. He has long admired the craftsmanship and artistry of limestone that can be seen both in his Indianapolis hometown and across Indiana.
