Two Sculptures leased to Frankfort, KY

Josephine Sculpture Park of Frankfort, KY put out a Call to Artists for sculptures to be chosen for a 2 year lease.  I had 2 pieces chosen for this opportunity.
On Monday, Nov. 27, Dereck Sheroan of JBB, inc from Hardinsburg brought out their 23 ton crane truck for the delivery / installations.

We loaded up both pieces and made our way to Frankfort.

The first piece, "Determination" was to be sited at the corner of Wapping st. and Catfish Alley.  Mollie Rabiner (orange hat) was my contact person for the installations.  I also met Mel VanHouten who is the owner of Josephine Sculpture Park.

More hands make light work.  Always happy to have the extra help.

Then, we made our way to the 2nd site which is in front of the Frankfort / Franklin County Tourist Commission and visitor center at 300 St. Clair street.  We took up the entire brick road (and then some...)

We set the base first...

...rigged up the top piece...

...and set it onto 2 stainless steel pins.  Both pieces look good at their new sites.  I hope they find a permanent home in Frankfort.  Time will tell...
