Client: Elvis Presley Memorial Foundation

Overview

“Elvis at 13” depicts Elvis Presley leaving Tupelo, MS for Memphis, TN. Elvis “Becoming,” is Elvis as an eleven your old boy, dreaming about his future which is depicted behind him in the Elvis’ classic pose.

Goals

In 2000 and again in 2013 I was asked by the Elvis Presley Memorial Foundation to create bronze statues of Elvis Presley at several ages, to be displayed at the grounds of Elvis Presley’s Birthplace in Tupelo, MS.

Process

The “concept” was discussed and several designs were discussed with the committee before settled was on this design.
