Feature Details

Name: Two Clouds

Description: Artist Cliff Garten collaborated with the community to create two cloud-like suspended sculptures positioned over the foyer and the Internet cafe. One “cloud” is cast aluminum branches reminiscent of orchard trees in blossom that also alludes to a technological network. The second “cloud” is created from hundreds of cast aluminum apricots and doll-sized human figures that form a topography evocative of the hills surrounding the city. The juxtaposition of agricultural and technological references addresses the ambiguity of an agricultural past and technological future.
