Located north of the courthouse in a brick-paved sitting area.
The Siris webpage for this sculpture (link below) does not have an official description, but just four black & white photographes. "Compatible Forms" consists of three inverted narrowly tapered aluminum rectangular prisms bolted into the base around a central box. One of the forms has two roughly serrated edges.
The adjacent ash tray is an unfortunate necessity to keep smokers from toss butts into the sculpture's open base.
