Dancing Spirit

Dancing Spirit, from artist Mark Wallis, was created from steel in 2009 and is installed along the B-line Trail. The sculpture was created in memory of Evan Farrell, a beloved member of the local independent music scene. Evan was known inside and outside Bloomington through his work with the bands Japonize Elephants and Rogue Wave. He died in December of 2007 at the age of 31 as a result of injuries suffered in an house fire in Oakland, California where he was had performed in a reunion concert. Evan's essence as a loving husband, step-father and loyal friend is remembered and honored by the many people whose lives he touched.
