The Bartholomew County Veterans Memorial project was an invited competition for a memorial for veterans of 20th century wars in a town noted for its architecture. It consists of a field of twenty-five limestone pillars, each forty feet high. The space within the pillars is intense and pressured. Its density contrasts with an open grid of flowering trees and a plane of public lawn.

Names of the 156 veterans from Bartholomew County who gave their lives are carved onto the sides of the pillars, as well as letters and journals written by these soldiers. Viewers experience a layered passage into the heart of the grid of pillars in which the recorded experience of the veterans becomes more and more intimate as one delves deeper into the space. The memorial honors the veterans from the County and demonstrates their shared, unifying experience.
