Engagement with Color

 

 

 

Korean-born Mikyoung Kim, is an internationally known landscape architect and professor at the Rhode Island School of Design.  The sculpture shows the vibrant conditions found in the cross-polarized images of liquid crystals by the use of various colors of fiber optic light within the structure. The sculpture and its environment of color are places for direct engagement and contemplation.  The work is placed appropriately, in proximity to the Liquid Crystal Materials Science Building.  It is on the Esplanade Path Sculpture Walk and funded by the Ohio Percent for Art Project.
