Description:
Ring of Water is an 18' diameter x 22' long hanging sculpture that "floats" in the rotunda of the new City Court of Atlanta. Fifty-six cables, each approximately 22' long hang from the steel ring. Each cable is strung with 10 pods of "water"; totaling 560 pods. Each pod is covered with hand-cut and hand-placed blue/gray glass mosaic. The water "drips" into circular rings on the terrazzo floor, following the pattern of the sculpture that hangs above it. When I designed Ring of Water, I was thinking about how the presence of water suggests a cooling down of the heat - both the literal summer heat in Atlanta and the figurative emotional heat that fills a courtroom. – Ann Gardner
