It was designed in 1978, the year his son with Bonnie Bronson died of leukemia, and dedicated in 1979 in his memory.

It measures approximately 10 feet (3.0 m) x 8 feet (2.4 m) x 8 feet (2.4 m). The sculpture's north leg has an inscription that reads Lee Kelly / 1978 and a plaque with the text, ELKHORN / IN MEMORY OF / JASON KELLY / PLACED HERE BY HIS FRIENDS / JUNE 1979.
The sculpture is administered by Catlin Gabel School. It was surveyed and deemed "treatment needed" by the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in November 1993.
