First Impressions

✨ Lexington Digital Curators Editorial Review

Public sculpture installation in Lexington, KY: First Impressions is a monumental sculpture that invites visitors to engage with the deep history of both the land and humanity. This work takes the form of a giant Maclurite fossil, the ancient gastropod whose shell helped create the limestone beneath Lexington. Comprised of 117 interlocking precast concrete panels, the piece serves as both an interactive sculpture and a timeline of Earth's—and Kentucky's—history.. Created by artist StudioKCA.
