Blocks

Reconnecting to Our Waterways (ROW) is an effort by local artists to highlight the Pogue’s Run Waterway in Brookside Park. The Paramount Rest Stop is one of three sites along Pogue’s Run funded through ROW. Led by artist Eric Nordgulen, students from Herron School of Art and Design, a team of professional artists, and local residents and stakeholders collaborated on the design and implementation of public art installations centered on waterway issues and inspirations.

Blocks is an installation by Emily Stergar. These twenty-four cast blocks originate from water and are made of earth that was dredged from the White River. Their varied texture and size embody the fluidity of shape when water interacts with earth. This piece allows participants to stop, rest, and reflect on the nearby waterway. The direction of this installation, which starts at the top of the hill and continues downhill, points towards the water’s edge.
