RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — A sculptor is gradually unveiling his gray granite public artwork in downtown Rapid City.

Masayuki Nagase has completed about two-thirds of the $2 million project titled “The Sculpture Project: Passage of Wind and Water.” The Rapid City Journal ( ) reports that he already has finished 14 of 21 stones, with the project expected to be complete in about two years. The artist recently revealed five of the stones he completed this summer.

Sculpture project coordinator and Arts Rapid City director Anna Huntington says everyone who’s involved in the project is excited to see how it’s coming to life.

Nagase will return to Rapid City next June to carve one of the 35-foot-high spires for the project, as well as four additional sculptures.
