This kinetic sculpture represents the elements- Earth, Water and Fire which creates a base for the elevated Nebula suggesting a pathway to the beyond. The piece is grounded by a huge local granite boulder.
About the Artist: The plant kingdom inspires and informs Lyman Whitaker’s kinetic artwork. His work is activated and interacts with the wind giving the viewer a connection to one of nature’s forces. When time is taken to gaze at this mesmerizing work, the art may offer a moment of respite from this busy world and encourage a meditative space.
Donors: Linda & Peter Wilson, Jerri Patchett
