“Nexus: Three Rivers in Harmony” – Avondale Sculpture Project
Collaborator: Ann Moeller Studios
Description:
A kinetic public art installation embodying interconnectedness, inspired by the convergence of the Salt, Gila, and Agua Fria rivers. The sculpture interacts with natural forces like wind, featuring:
- An 8-foot aluminum ring with sculpted waves that rotate with the wind.
- A Great Blue Heron with a 5-foot wingspan that turns kinetically within the ring.
Experience the captivating rendering of “Nexus: Three Rivers in Harmony,” a kinetic public art installation designed by Ann Moeller Studios. This mesmerizing sculpture features an 8-foot aluminum ring with sculpted waves that rotate gracefully with the wind, symbolizing the convergence of the Salt, Gila, and Agua Fria rivers. The ring stands on top of a 7-ft reinforced concrete column.
Inside the rotating ring, a magnificent Great Blue Heron with a 5-foot wingspan turns kinetically, embodying the flow of life and interconnectedness of nature.
Our Contributions:
- Engineering Calculations and Analysis: Ensured safe and functional kinetic movement.
- Structural Engineering Consulting: Collaborated with Aerospace Structural Research Corp. and Ann Moeller Studios.
- Foundation Design: Engineered an 8-foot diameter concrete foundation and a 7-foot-tall steel-reinforced concrete column.
