Partin
carves the brick while its wet in his studio in Endicott,
Nebraska (above). When the carving is complete, he numbers
the individual bricks and fires them in a kiln; then transports
them to the site of the installation for reassembling.
The
Lutz Locomotion mural appears nearly free-standing on the
library wall, which is a few hundred feet from a replica of
the 1912 depot building. The figures standing in front of
engine are the conductor and coal man.
Here
is a St. Petersburg Times story about Partin's work on the
sculpture. |
