Description:
Kinetic sculpture, Flame, City Hall, 6 East Sixth St. The sculpture, at the southwest corner of city hall, is a companion piece to Langston Hughes's quotation inscribed on the brick wall. The sculpture, Flame, was installed June 30, 1982. Lin Emery, a Louisiana sculptor born in 1928, created the artwork. In an artists statement (AskArt) she writes: For more than 30 years, all my sculpture has been kinetic mainly large-scale work for public spaces. Both the forms and the random movement are inspired by nature. The linked elements may evoke plant or flying forms, and are set in motion by natural forces wind or water. Their highly polished surfaces mirror the world around them, while their movement is influenced by infinite variables: the points of balance, the normal frequency of each element, the interruption of the counterpoise.
