Another recent National Sculptors' Guild memorial installation is by Clay Enoch, whose bronze "Guardians" adorn the granite walls of the International Association of Fire Fighters' Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial in Colorado Springs. The Guardians offer a silent salute to their fallen comrades as they present the ceremonial axe. Enoch also sculpted the IAFF emblems embedded in walls at the entry. #ClayEnoch #MemorialPark #Guardians #Sculpture #PublicArt #IAFF
GUARDIANS by CLAY ENOCH, NATIONAL SCULPTORS' GUILD Adorn the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial Colorado Springs, CO
Stationed as anchors along the granite arcs, these “Guardians” set a tone of solemnity and reverence for visitors to Memorial Park. They offer a silent salute to their fallen comrades as they present the ceremonial axe. Strength emanates from their firm grip and honor from their stoic posture. The elegant elongation of the figures raises the “Guardians up like sentries, offering protection over all who respectfully come.
Purposed as architectural adornments to the granite, the “Guardians” are executed with subdued detail. They evoke the proper tone in their minimalism and thereby serve to complement the existing primary focal sculpture. The consistency and symmetry of the site design is emphasized through their measured
repetition. -Clay Enoch, National Sculptors' Guild

I am honored to have my sculptures included in this significant memorial in Colorado Springs honoring all Fallen Fire Fighters in the United States and Canada.
