Furrow, six giant harrow-like disks, sculpted by Thomas Sayre out of Carolina red earth, identifies one of 15 transit stations in the Southeast’s first light rail line recently opened in Charlotte, North Carolina. Harrowing disks reference the site's agricultural past and question what is being cultivated. Sayre's originality and scale is based on his invented technique. His vision is what he does with this technical proficiency. Using his earth casting technique, 72+ cubic yards of Carolina red clay, a steel template, galvanized reinforcing steel, a Bobcat, pea gravel mix of concrete, iron oxide, a rotating screed, 4-point lifts, and his small but experienced crew, Sayre fabricated the disks literally across the street from the future station. The art cured for two months and then a 60-ton crane lifted each sculpture onto a flatbed truck, moved it across the roadway, and placed and braced each disk on its footing.

An ongoing drought temporarily prevents the planting of the artist's landscape of tall grasses, low shrubs, and random trees. Each disk weighs 11 tons, appears fragile, and belies its significant weight and density. Their north/south alignment in the median takes full advantage of the sun’s transition, tracking the passing of the day on its convex and concave surfaces. Furrow’s scale is in perfect harmony with its urban environment. The art is appreciated by pedestrians, transit riders, and people in automobile.
