Biography
Lloyd Hamrol's Stonerise, a semi-circular collection of Iowa limestone blocks, some of which are buried, suggest ancient ruins. Curved to imply a classical stadium, arena or hippodrome, the work alludes to the long history of athletic spectacles, specifically the Olympic games. The mammoth stones and a simple curve of Stonerise add an undertone of dignity and endurance to the sculpture.
