Sculptural Poems

Duet

St. Louis International Airport

St. Louis, MO

Terminal #1, passenger ticketing

The curving forms of Water Music and Another Heartsong reflect the spiritually and visually up-lifting structure of the Minoru Yamasaki designed airport. The two sculptures are designed to perform a visual and thematic duet. They are fabricated from scythe handles called snaths, cello pegs, ebony, and, in the case of Water Music, dowels. Once built, the forms are bound with industrial waxed linen thread.
