Arched, abstract, three-legged sculpture with curved, angled, pointed top. Bronze with green patina on a custom marble base.

This piece was chosen by former Library Director, Mary Radmacher, to decorate a meeting room at the Library named in her honor. The sculpture was dedicated on December 7, 1997. Radmacher was the “Chief Librarian” from 1956-1985.

Sculptor Brian Monaghan said the piece “is constructed of silicone bronze sheets welded into a dynamic and fluid form, evoking a restless and energetic nature... I am working with two themes — serenity and dynamic energy.”

Monaghan owns Central Sculpture Works in Chicago and studied art at the Massachusetts College of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago. His large-scale steel sculptures can be seen throughout the Chicago area.

Located on the First Floor in the Mary Radmacher Gallery.

Medium: Bronze with marble base

Collection of Skokie Public Library. Gift of The Kihara Corporation, Cole Taylor Bank, and Friends of Mary Radmacher, 1997.
