Crafted from Indiana limestone, Crucible weighs over 7,000 pounds and stretches 5 feet in diameter. This massive sculpture stands as the latest addition to UIndy’s Fifth Third Bank Campus Sculpture Walk.
Over a career of over 30 years, Don Lawler has created stone sculptures on a professional basis for public and private outdoor sites. Lawler creates contemporary sculptures that focus on the positive. Common themes include spiritual concerns, the goal of self actualization and the potential of daily self renewal.
