Prochronismé was the first large sculpture that I made in Spring 2016. At a popular intersection in Cape Girardeau, near the college campus, is Broadway Prescription Shop. The shop owns the grassy area right at the intersection, and they decided to pour a concrete slab for sculptures to rotate on display. The owner of the shop decided to give a grant each year to a student in order to fund a sculpture for that location. In 2015 I came up with a sketch, made a proposal for a possible sculpture, and I was chosen! For one semester, I worked on creating this sculpture (along with tinkering around on other smaller sculptures, of course).

After a year of being on display, my dad came down to Cape Girardeau and helped me bring the sculpture back to my parent’s house. We poured a concrete slab in their backyard and bolted it down. Yard art! I think it looks great there.

A couple weeks ago my dad helped me bring Prochronismé back down to Cape Girardeau to be on display outside at Southeast Missouri State’s River Campus. The back of the campus faces the Mississippi and is such beautiful place. My sculpture professor had 3 concrete slabs poured outside to bring more art around the campus. My sculpture and two other previous student’s sculptures will be on display there for a year, and then mine will be brought back “home” to my parent’s house.
