About the Artwork
Artist Gloria Bornstein created this sculpture of clouds and stormy weather to connect viewers to the ecology of their community. The artwork is located in the city of Monroe, next to Lake Tye, a storm water retention pond used for recreational activities such as fishing, cycling, and walking. Bornstein noticed that “The sky is big over Lake Tye where you can slow down and watch the clouds and eagles.”
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with City of Monroe.
