The Public Art League is pleased to welcome "Eye of Uxmal" by James K. Johnson (Charleston, IL) to Champaign.  The sculpture was installed on Sept. 11, 2015 at the corner of First St. and St. Mary's Road (by the iHotel).

"Eye of Uxmal" stands 14' tall and is constructed of Cor-Ten steel.  James K. Johnson states that he is interested in creating works of art that cause the viewer to become aware of their surroundings while reflecting upon past experiences that have shaped their personal and private lives.

A big thank you to Fox/Atkins Development, LLC for the site sponsorship of this piece.
