It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a 229-ft sculpture. Wait, what?
Your eyes didn’t deceive you — downtown Columbus will be home to a suspended sculpture that floats above N. High Street. The artwork comes from world renowned artist Janet Echelman + is expected to be fully finished in June.
Stretching 229 ft long + 126 ft tall, it will be the largest piece of public art in Columbus once unveiled. With a piece of this magnitude, downtown buildings will be used as anchors so the artwork can be suspended over the street. In total, 78 miles of twine were tied into 500,000 knots to form a red + blue cloud-like creation.
