This is a really cool cluster of sculptures. Field of Corn is literally a field of corn: tall…read moresculptures of corn all evenly spaced apart in a field. It's kind of a trippy sight to see when you're driving by it. It's even more trippy when you get out of your car and stand in the middle of the field among the corn. So take the time to go out into the field and stand with the corn, is what I'm saying. The Midwest is known for producing corn, so it seems appropriate to come across artwork dedicated to corn as we were traveling through Dublin. Dublin has a lot of public art! This is just one of the artworks we saw in this town. I don't know who needs to hear this, but there were a lot of pawpaw trees in a grove adjacent to the sculptures. When we visited in the late fall, the pawpaw trees were bearing fruit and lots of pawpaws had dropped to the ground. If you're into harvesting pawpaws, this would be the place to visit to find them.

It's a good-sized structure that memorializes George M Karrer's blacksmith shop, which historically sat in this space back in the 1800s. It was designed by Brower Hatcher, and has several elements intended to reflect this history, which can be seen as you study the structure. I found it particularly thought provoking when I read that the name, simulation, is emulated by the use of the green and gold framing, with the idea that it is a computer simulation of the workshop. What a neat way to capture a piece of history!

(If you visit dublinarts.org, you'll find a list of the public artworks and where they're located.) This sculpture is located in the historic district, right at the corner of Bridge and High Streets. You really can't miss it -- just look for the brick area on the corner. According to Dublin's art website, this piece was inspired by the town water pump that sat in the middle of the intersection in the early 1900s, which served as a source of water and a figurative "water cooler" where the townspeople would meet and catch up. The bronze and stone statues represent that time in Dublin's history.

The Dublin Ohio webpage has some neat historic photos of this bit of inspiration, in addition to photos of the process of creation of the existing art piece, which is very interesting for those who enjoy history or art. The pump finally had to be retired when a motorist hit it - that new fangled invention, the car, was incompatible with the placement. Hopefully, the sculpture, with a location on the sidewalk/small plaza type area will be safer from such a fate!

The sculpture itself is made of stainless steel and reclaimed wood from the park, and it makes it very interesting to walk close to the sculpture and look at the patterns.

By chance, we lucked out and visited while the artist himself was onsite. The staff were so friendly, greeting us as soon as we stepped inside and advised that the exhibit was set up on the first floor in a loop. The building is a former home and is quite lovely on its own, and then the council has done a great job organizing their exhibits to complement the building and make it easy to move around. We enjoyed looking at the wide variety of train photos from all around the country, and getting to chat with the artist was nice - he was great with kids too and had a little game for them to find where the photo on his business card was in the gallery. Outside, the grounds are beautiful too and the backyard goes down to the river. There's a nice parking lot available outside and admission is free. We will have to watch for future exhibits!
