Description
The Carrie Brown Bajnotti Memorial Fountain sits atop an elevated, circular patch of grass, enclosed by a rounded concrete curb. Around this grassy area wraps a red brick path originating from each of Burnside Park’s six points of ingress. The paths converge to a circular patio, which wraps around the fountain and offers wooden benches for taking in the fountain—landscape architecture which produces the fountain as the rightful center of the park. Around the patio trees provide shades and present the Memorial’s space as a sort of clearing in the woods.
The granite basin itself is made up of sixteen curved units of granite, grouped into sets of four that converse around geometrically ornamented plinths to create a circular basin. The upper interior portion of this basin is outfitted with roughly 234 spray outlets, which aim their streams at the Fountain’s centerpiece: a cluster of five intertwined bronze figures atop a rocky plinth. The figures support a smaller bronze water basin, decorated by intricate foliate and fish detailing, with a bronze finial in the center, out of which some ten-odd streams of water shoot into the air.
The central group of figures represents the struggle of life, which Yandell emphatically distinguished from the struggle for life: the former is the struggle for mere existence, while the latter is the struggle of the soul against its earthly limitations and circumstance. This tableau of the struggle of life is composed of five figures, each with a different symbolism: a human woman representing life, three male figures who embody earthly tendencies, and a winged angel who represents the soul and who drapes the group with the mantle of truth cascading from her shoulders.
In the cluster of forms, the soul (represented by the angel) tries to break from the three male bodies of earthly tendency, which cling to her unrelentingly—muscles taut as they press back her body and weight it down to the stone plinth, representing earthly life. The human woman seems to be sitting on the flowing mantle of the angel, holding onto or propelling forward her wings. As she sits, the human woman is almost entirely obscured except her legs and lower torso (though her pelvis is modestly covered by what seems to be another fold of the angel’s mantle). Obscuring the woman is one of the three men, who has wrapped himself around her body, effectively forcing her to cradle him while his knees impede the angel’s forward movement. Further, all the figures are naked except for the angel, whose nipples nevertheless show through her thick bronze mantle.
