Indiana State University – Terre Haute

Size of the art: 64″ x 63″ x 5.5″

Indiana State University unveiled One Of A Kind 3-dimensional commemorative art to highlight their Founder’s Day and 150th anniversary celebrations. The artwork reflects the evolution and distinction of ISU as a dynamic teaching institution, driver in the community and longtime advocate of diversity.

The circular structure of the artwork, which is installed in the John W. Moore Welcome Center, suggests the cross section of a 150-year-old sycamore tree trunk, on which 150 rings are inscribed. Superimposed is a sycamore-leaf shape surrounding ISU’s 150-year story.

Like many of our clients, ISU wished to share their 3-dimensional art, and story, with the world. An interactive website was created to showcase the artwork and to feature individual items in the collage.
