“Stargate 6”
by Bill Barrett
2008
The large fabricated bronze sculpture is the centerpiece of the courtyard located in the Unity Point Trinity Regional Medical Center.
Bill Barrett, creator of the Stargate series, found his inspiration after his battle with cancer. When asked about the sculpture, Barrett raised his arms in a “V” for Victory, and shared the joy he felt when he knew he had survived. Inspired by Barrett’s story, it is fitting that “Stargate 6” found its home in the healing garden at the hospital.

“Creative change is always important for me, from one shape to the next. Surprise is important. Taking a chance, while searching for truth is a condition that I strive for when starting a new work of art. It is the beginning of the journey and my obligation. You take a chance and you never know where the journey will take you.”–Bill Barrett
