Mesabi Black granite on Indiana limestone base
Plaza between Cleo Rogers Memorial Library and the Columbus Area Visitors Center
Two stacked, asymmetrical granite blocks rise like a contemporary obelisk. Smooth planes and subtle offsets emphasize upward motion, balance, and energy—a modern take on the totem as a marker of community.
Martin Beach (b. 1988) is an Indiana sculptor who explores form and movement in stone; Modern Totem was his first major public commission.
