The Sphere
The Sphere created in 1982 by Billy Hiebert is 4 ft across and
composed of 20 individual sections. Spheres are one of the
strongest and most perfect forms known in nature and Billy’s piece
is a metaphor for all of us who have ever felt the need to safely
hide the expression of our creativity from the world. This piece
is dedicated to Rosie the Riveter and all those who followed
the rallying cry, “ We Can Do It,” and The Crucible’s motto
to “ inspiring creativity in everyone.”
At 8:40pm, in one symbolic motion, we will remove the
boundaries that inhibit creativity and free the spirited soul within
the sphere.
