This stainless steel abstract sculpture stands near the back of the cemetery in a circle garden

The point or purpose is lost on me. I also, cannot find a proper description of the art piece. Not listed on Smithsonian, nor on the artists page.

It seems to be a globe mounted between three rudders, or ailerons, standing on two triangular legs.

"Larry Pogue describes himself as an Abstract Expressionist, Found Object, Direct Metal, Sculptor. After graduating from Kansas State College (in 1968) with his Master's Degree in Sculpture and Printmaking, he taught art in college for 28 years.

"In 1997 Pogue took early retirement from teaching to pursue his love of sculpture. He completed his new unique gallery and studio in the spring of 1998 to have a space to create and display his new creations. Pogue welcomes visitors and will explain his ideas and techniques of how he makes art.

"Pogue has many private collectors who have collected his works for the past 30 years. Corporate collectors include McDonnell Douglas, Consolidated Aluminum, St. Johns Hospital, MO Governors Society, General Motors, Milwaukee Museum International Airport and Meremac Valley Bank annual Christmas gifts. Pogue also completed work for the St. Louis Muny Opera." ~ Larry Pogue Sculptor
