Wheel of Time has been missing from this location for quite some time. The Oklahoma wind bent the structure in the middle, under the wheel, so it was sent back for repairs and to make it strong enough to withstand the typically windy Oklahoma weather.
The sculpture is located in a landscaped area at the back of Dr. Damon Johnson's dental office. The total height of the wheel and base is about 7 ft. The wheel is about 4 feet wide, with silver as the main color and colored class or other material imbedded in the design. It looks wonderful when the sun hits it! The base is about 3 feet tall, copper-brownish color, and wider at the bottom than the top.
This piece of art is located across from Edmond's largest park (Mitch Park). It is one of many pieces of art placed around town by the Edmond Visual Arts Commission, partnering with local businesses and individuals.
