Rhythms and Vibrations
No matter where you stand this sculpture has great lines to it's structure. Since this piece is so large it can be seen from a distance.
Since the Smithsonian sight has no listing as for description, and is incorrect with it's dimension, I will do my best. The piece consists of 3 arched bows and 3 upright triangles, the outer skin of each of these are large panels of aluminum. The over all size is approximately 30 foot x 60 foot by 15 foot in height.
Information from the SIRIS website is as follows;
