Maysville, Kentucky

Zoning Out ~ Review of the Model:  The burial zone is out of sight. What we know about George and Daisy is what we see on the grave marker. Attached to their pet, they seem to have been: a huntin' dog according to the symbolism of the powder horn. In this bas relief, though, the posture suggests a hound that has put his hunting days behind him. Although he is still alert, it's time to rest. He dominates the design and takes center stage on the marker. He must have taken center stage in their lives as well. Maysville-Mason County Cemetery. [2013]
