Connection Collection

Cheers and clapping arise from the crowd as workers hoist Reverence into its place at Edmond's Mitch Park. The lithe bronze figure stands with arms outstretched, small birds perched atop two delicate wrists.

The artwork's essence matches the mood of those attending the installation ceremony-more than fifty family members and friends gathered in remembrance and celebration of beloved Edmond resident and longtime nurse Corrie Sargeant, who passed away on November 22, 2020. The sculpture was selected by Sargeant's husband, Rowell, as part of the Edmond Art in Public Places program, a partnership that pairs public and private funds to grow Edmond's public art collection.
