Client: Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum

Overview

This sitework symbolizes and articulates Abraham Lincoln’s significance to American life and culture. The obelisk-like form is slightly tilted, to suggest human and constitutional traumas and vulnerabilities. Its materiality bridges from the industrial strength of weathered steel rooted in the land, to the impervious stainless steel of its upper form—reaching skyward. At nighttime, the artform transforms through illumination and the projection of societal ideals and issues onto the Museum walls, to become a beacon of American endurance through decades of history, that is still unfolding. Dimensions: 16’-3”W x 24’-10”H x 15’D
