This second sequel to the post with an overview of Urban Symphony includes sculptures by Bette Ann Libby, Ania Gilmore, Janet Kawada, Cassie Doyon, and Wen-Hao Tien. Links to artists’ websites and Studios Without Walls are listed under Key Resources. Plan to keep exploring through September 7! (All quotes are from artists’ statements about their sculpture for Urban Symphony)

Bette Ann Libby: “Melodic Resonance Intervals”

“There are many definitions of symphony. MRI films are transformed into moving musical “notes” swaying and twirling around dowels from the trees. Once again, from something that may be perceived as foreboding, MRI films now become mesmerizing, rhythmic and enchanting.“

Ania Gilmore “Crimson Current”

““Crimson Current” explores the tension between nature and human-made boundaries. Metal and red zip-tie structures enclose river rocks symbols of nature’s persistence. This contrast reflects on intervention, control, and the limits us humans place on the environment.“

Janet Kawada: “Sounds of Access/Keys of Life”

“Keys. They have many meanings. Opening up a locked area, a locked mind, a locked heart. Where do we find them and how do we keep them available. These are large questions for small items. And so very often they are lost….then found.“

Cassie Doyon: “Puzzle”

“It has been progressively puzzling to integrate urban development to environmental sustainability and needs for all. How do we put the pieces together?“

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.“
