XOXO

Sited at the head of the JROW Sculpture Trail in the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District, this ten-foot-high sculpture of Corten steel and backlit 'tchonk' glass serves as a local community beacon and wayfinding device. Presenting an inarguable, direct and positive message in a time of upheaval, XOXO was installed in November 2021.
