The "Constellation" sculpture came to be
through the ideas of Kathy Vinyard of the city of Lincoln.
After the city purchased the
strip of land along South Sangamon to create better parking options
in that block, the leftover grassy spot took on a park-like setting
with green space, trees and benches. Vinyard began looking
for someone to do a nice piece of art that could be seen from the
train station and by passengers on the Amtrak.
Hoffman was just the man for
the job. He volunteered to design a piece of original art for
the city, and the city gratefully accepted.
