    You were a giant among men in every way
    "One Breath: Memorial to Massachusetts Epidemics", is our proposal for The Boston Globe for a COVID-19 monument.
    New England Castings in Standish, ME, pushed their own boundaries working with our renderings and casting our milled foam sections into Duplex Stainless Steel a material that seems just right for the streets of Worcester and the people whose stories our sculpture tells. Thank you Walter, Mike and the whole crew at NEC!
    Our sculpture takes its cue from the work of the 19th-century Worcester abolitionist and suffragist Abby Kelley Foster and is permanently installed at 311 Main St. to the left of Mechanics Hall. We're grateful to State Sen. Harriette L. Chandler, D-Worcester, who helped secure funding for “The Speaker’s Stand” and to our partners at the City of Worcester, especially the Cultural Development Office, D.P.W., the Public Art Working Group and Abby's House.

    Excited to have our work “The Speaker’s Stand,” be a part of the Main Street Reimagined Public Art Program which tells the story of Worcester, MA’s rich history through a series of public artworks along Main Street. Here are the first five of many new works. (Photos © 2021 Troy B. Thompson Photography, all rights reserved)

    Thank you @troybthompsonphotography and @cityofworcester ! So glad to be a part of this project!
    On the heels of her “12 Days of Alleys for Christmas” thread, Alice Brown of Boston Harbor Now, the @FerryFaerie , has a piece in @BostonMagazine called “Your Guide to the Weird (and Wonderful) Alleys of Boston’s North End”. Thanks for making “North Square Stories” part of your storytelling and Boston discovery tours. Happy exploring to all!
    Ben Edwards of @BostonHistory is one of our favorite walkers and lately walking is one of our favorite things!
    Today @bostonpreservationalliance premiers their film about the North Square project for the 2020 Preservation Awards. Tune in to https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=jzmx2qk2wEM
    Not long ago, the field of public art was dominated by sculptors, architects and muralist painters but today there is an explosion of new and exciting media and practices. Gormley’s appreciation for making art for public spaces is inherently sculpture-based. He summarizes what is unique to long-lasting public sculpture and even monuments and why the practice continues to be meaningful and endlessly relevant. Though they are silent, public sculptures are uniquely effective in this digital age because they are physically ‘rooted to their places’ and they exist “in the flow of time”.
    Our work at North Square has just received another honor!!
