Mississippi sculptor is the man who brought Walter Anderson's art to life

The Gateway Sculpture Project took shape through meetings with residents and community leaders about what best represented Ocean Springs. Julian Rankin, strategic advisor for the Walter Anderson Museum of Art, said the process led organizers back to Anderson and the city’s artistic tradition. Proctor was selected after a public call for artist qualifications from Mississippi and the surrounding region. His task was to transform two-dimensional designs based on Anderson’s work into large-scale sculptures. “Phil got to collaborate, if you will, with Walter Anderson across time and to turn these into three-dimensional sculptures,” Rankin said. “That, I think, was the magic about it.” “It was really kind of a wonderful experience working what I would describe as a collaboration with Walter Anderson in spirit,” Proctor said. Design and engineering work began in late 2025, followed by manufacturing around March 2026, Proctor said. The sculptures were unveiled Oct. 1. Rankin said the overall project took about two and a half years, including public input, design, funding and manufacturing.
