The Arc of Dreams in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

For the past five years, the Arc of Dreams has stretched over the Big Sioux River in Sioux Falls. The steel sculpture is longer than a football field and rises 85 feet over the river.

Dale Lamphere is South Dakota's Artist Laureate and creator of the SculptureWalk's Arc of Dreams.

He describes the years-long design process to create the piece and what he hopes people take from the sculpture five years after its installation.
