The Timekeeper Clock Tower

"Public monuments often commemorate extraordinary moments, but I have always been interested in honoring ordinary people. The Timekeeper Clock Tower was designed as a tribute to the workers, merchants, travelers, and families whose daily efforts built this downtown district over generations. Time is a thread that connects us all. The bronze relief panels depict scenes from community life because history is not only found in major events—it lives in everyday routines, shared experiences, and the passage of time. I hoped to create a landmark that encourages visitors to pause, reflect, and recognize their place within a much longer story." - Linda Richards
