The latest addition to DeCarli Plaza in downtown Stockton is the 23-foot-high stainless steel sculpture Anchored.
By VINCE REMBULAT 209 Living A new public art piece just surfaced at the DeCarli Plaza in downtown Stockton entitled “Anchored.” That’s the aptly named sculpture created by regional artists Steve Petruska and Diana Pumpelly. “’Anchored’ is emblematic of change, reflecting the dynamic nature of how influences come and go, how history being and end and overlap,” they said, describing the piece that was inspired by researching area history while focusing on successive historical periods. From early Native American settlement, the Spanish American War, and the Gold Rush Days, the two artists also drew inspiration from modern urbanization and expansion.
