Robert Pulley
2006
Ceramic (series of 11 sculptures)
Along westbound 3rd Street (State Highway 46) between Jackson and Lindsey Streets
Eleven large ceramic forms line the grassy edge of 3rd Street, recalling ancient road monuments yet celebrating life and growth. Organic profiles rise and taper like markers shaped by wind and time, inviting a slow glance as you pass. Inspired by historic necropolis traditions but reinterpreted as a living corridor.
Robert Pulley is a Columbus-based sculptor whose large ceramic works blend intuitive process with architectural presence, often channeling rhythms of geology and plant life.
