How does this artwork elucidate its abstract?
The Sewall Memorial Torches are a pair of bronze lampposts built in 1923 in honor of May Wright Sewall, an educator, civic organizer, women's rights activist, and peace movement advocate, who was a founder of the Art Association of Indianapolis in 1883. 
The lampposts are owned by the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA), and displayed in front of Herron High School, the former site of the Art Association's John Herron Art Institute, at 16th and Pennsylvania streets in the Herron-Morton Place Historic District of downtown Indianapolis. The memorial lampposts were commercially produced by the Gorham Manufacturing Company.
