This sculpture was included in the White River State Park’s triennial sculpture rotation.  It is part of a series of sculptures by the artist inspired by the famous Forth Bridge, a feat of design and engineering spanning the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh, Scotland.  The Forth Bridge is the second-longest single-cantilevered bridge in the world.

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1953, artist Barry Hehemann received a BFA in sculpture from the Herron School of Art, Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis in 1975. After receiving an MFA from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1977, Hehemann co-founded Vector Custom Fabricating in 1978. Vector is an architectural metals and sculpture fabricating company that serves the art and construction communities. Through the use of the facilities, contacts and expertise provided through work in the industry Hehemann continues to pursue his interest in sculpture on a small and large scale, exploring a variety of concepts and materials, including steel, stainless steel, stone, and concrete.
