"Monolith" with artist Timothy Jorgensen
The Public Art League is proud to welcome "Monolith" by Timothy Jorgensen (Cedar Falls, IA) to downtown Urbana. The sculpture was installed on the south side of the Champaign County Courthouse near the corner of Elm St. and Broadway Ave.
The artist states that "Monolith" was created with the idea of monolithic formations found throughout history. As the shifts break the piece into sections it creates a sense of shifting time. The piece creates the notion of a human figure to exemplify existence. It encompasses the idea of time we as humans have spent on Earth as well as the trials we have experienced.
Thank you to the City of Urbana, the Urbana Public Arts Commission and Champaign County for their assistance in making this installation possible.
