St. Augustine Confederate War Memorial
Materials & Symbolism
We place the plaques on concrete or monument stone (granite) bases with a goal of blending in with the current monument. Each base is embedded with symbolic material representing further context overheard during committee discussions relating to the presented narrative. Symbolic materials provide a visual and tactile connection to the text and engage the viewer’s curiosity.
Iron: Symbolizes shackles and constraints used on slaves.
Bronze: Representative Civil War era cannons.
Steel: Symbolic of the railroad construction in the late 9th century on St. Augustine’s economy and expansion.
Marble: Represents the church ownership of the land upon which the first memorial was built.
Patterned Plexiglass: A synthetic material with a computer chip pattern representing the information age and lightning spread of information contributing to the national conversation about Confederate monuments.
