Sculptures on the Square

1995

This monumental bronze sculpture features a large cream and black organic form that dominates Independence Square in downtown Charlotte. The work's curved, almost biomorphic shape contrasts dramatically with the surrounding urban environment of trees, buildings, and plaza space. Cast in bronze and mounted on a granite plinth, the piece stands at an imposing scale that commands attention while inviting pedestrians to circle and examine its complex surface details. The interplay between the smooth, polished cream-colored sections and the intricate black textured elements creates visual rhythm and depth, anchoring this vital public gathering space with contemporary sculptural presence.
