Stillwater, MN artist, Lyz Wendland Received a Minnesota Artists Initiative Grant to create and mount this site specific installation. While it is similar to her Phipps Center for the Arts installation, pictured above, it was made especially for these windows on Cedar Avenue.
For best viewing, come by after dark and see them glow!
Lyz Wendland artist statement
My work reflects
my interest in mapping and architecture, especially the appeal of repetition
and the reassuring promise of reliability. My mainly abstract pieces deal with
the comfort offered by repeating forms and actions and they examine the subtle
rigidity of my cookie-cutter neighborhood, which offers a sometimes clear and
sometimes blurred delineation between public and private spaces. The connection
of the everyday mundane intertwines with predictability of structure. The
lines, shapes and forms I observe in my suburban neighborhood inspire my
current body of work made up of layered process of drawing, painting,
installation and sculpture.
