Allure::Statement

A large-scale aluminum sculpture titled allure was commissioned by the City of Cedar Falls for their Main Street Parkade Project. The abstract form was developed through consideration of Cedar Falls' architecture and landscape, the Cedar River and the sense of renewal and energy present along Main Street. The sculpture was designed to invite a shifting of perspectives over time that presents a multiplicity of viewpoints ranging from the organic to the inorganic. The specific range of associations through both form and color are site inspired to compliment the character of Cedar Falls and the downtown community.
