Keeping time is an integral part of our lives and the field of music. This sculpture is to be a work that celebrates the musical richness of the community and commemorates the role music plays in enriching and enhancing our lives. It will serve as a functional component to the community by recording the time. Cast on the surface of the sculpture shaft or gnomon (Greek for ‘the one who shows the shadow’) will be images of great local, regional, and international renowned musicians including Bill Monroe as well as images of traditional Bluegrass musical instruments.
