The Bronze rod sculpture was origially sketched as a continuous line. It is constructed from lengths of 1/4″ bronze rod. A viewer may begin at any point on the piece and trace around it, eventually arriving back where he/she started–duplicating the circuitous nature of a horse race itself. Each line expresses movment through the curves and simplicity of the shaped bronze rod.  

Designers Jeff Laramore and David Jemerson 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.
