Dale Lamphere's Dignity (a.k.a. Dignity of Earth & Sky) is a sculpture on a bluff overlooking the Missouri River near Chamberlain, SD. The 50-foot high stainless steel statue by South Dakota artist laureate Lamphere, depicts an Indigenous woman in Plains-style dress receiving a star quilt. She holds outstretched a quilt featuring 128 stainless steel blue diamond shapes designed to flutter in the wind. During the day, her star quilt – a representation of respect, honor, and admiration in Native American culture – glitters in the sun with color-changing pieces that move with the wind. At night, LED lights to cause the diamond shapes to glow in the night sky, casting a peaceful presence easily visible from the Interstate. 📷: @anshuman.dogra #dignity #dignityofearthandsky #chamberlain #southdakota #sculpture #nativeindian #photooftheday #photographers #photographersofinstagram #Canon #tamron #natgeoyourshot #art #dslrphotography #digitalphotography #sunsetphotography #sunset (at Dignity of Earth & Sky) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaLdX7hM_Av/?utm_medium=tumblr
