AUBURN, Ala. - When Charles Barkley’s statue is unveiled Saturday outside Auburn Arena, one set of eyes will be watching the subject instead of the sculpture.
Artist Brian Hanlon says “it’s a cool moment” when the curtain comes down.
“You’re always nervous,” said Hanlon, who has created 300 public and private art pieces in 30 years. “I really care about what I do. I love my job. I’m grateful always at the moment for this job I’ve been blessed with, but it’s also cathartic in that, I feel like a process has been completed.
