DAWN’S SILVER LINING
9th Street Median Gateway, Salina, Kansas, USA.

Aluminum, integrated designed lighting.
20’ H x 63’ L x 3’ D

This illuminated, laser cut and fabricated aluminum sculptural installation creates a contemporary gateway to the city of Salina. The work creates a luminous visual effect both day and night. The sculpture glows from within at night using a designed LED light set on a photocell. The composition consists of six semi-transparent sculptural forms. Individually and as a total experience, the forms echo the shelter-belt trees that dot the Kansas landscape, silhouetted against the horizon in winter. Dawn’s Silver Lining was the recipient of the 2014 CODAWorx Award for Public Art.

Commissioned by the City of Salina, Kansas, Arts and Humanities Commission.
