(All quotes from artists: statements about their sculpture for Urban Symphony)

Wen-Hao Tien: “Flight Lessons:”

“I love tall spaces—they invite vertical movement and the desire to fly. Migrating birds, Laurie Anderson’s Amelia, and my father—an aviator with messenger pigeons—shape this work, where clay forms evoke flight, falling, and movement through air.”

Gail Jerauld Bos & Pam Goncalves, Sounds of the Ancients:

“Our ancient ancestors lived millions of years ago but evidence appears to show we still share their passions…a piece of a bone flute made 50,000 yrs ago, a fragment of a song on a clay tablet played 3,400 yrs ago…Their melodies drift into our urban symphonies.”

Barbara Fletcher Symphony On a Half Shell :

“On a Half Shell whimsically references the Hatch Memorial Shell, a famous Art Deco outdoor concert venue which hosts free concerts for all on the Charles River. Viewers of this sculpture feel part of the urban symphony by viewing their reflections in different strategically placed mirrors.”

Silvina Mizrahi Moonlight Symphony of Our Shared Humanity:

“Steel figures with open silhouettes let the landscape pass through them, creating a shifting symphony of light and nature. The work honors our shared humanity and the rhythms that connect us beneath the moon“
