River Constellation Sculpture to Celebrate the Park and its Donors through Light and Sound
As Water Works Park undergoes a major development effort, the park’s foundation asked Group Creative Services to develop a donor-recognition sculpture.
Designed by artists Beau Kenyon and Natalia Zubko, River Constellation will be installed in summer 2019. The sculpture will appear to flow horizontally, mimicking the circuitous path of the Raccoon River. It will also be vertically outlined with poles featuring orbs of light and nature sounds, inscribed with the names of park donors.
Natalia Zubko is a sculptor working in NYC.
Beau Kenyon is an Iowa native living and working in Boston, MA.
