"Standing Stone" by Marie Camille Truscott

• Location: Waterloo Road & Utilities Parkway

"allure”

"allure" by Robert Craig

• 2005
• Aluminum
• Location: Second & Main Streets
• Purchased for the Citizens of Cedar Falls by the Public Art Committee with revenue from the Hotel/Motel Tax

"This major sculpture was inspired by Cedar Falls’ architecture and landscape, the Cedar River, and the sense of renewal and energy present along Main Street. As the title suggests, I designed a sculpture that would entice by fascination and appeal.”

"It’s All Relative" by Jerry Cowger

• 2003
• Painted Steel
• Location: First & Main Streets
• Sponsored by the generous contribution from the Ronald E. and Doris M. Juhl family, in celebration of the quality of life in Cedar Falls

"Life is a moving, growing, and ever-changing pursuit and art reflects that truth perfectly. ‘It’s All Relative’ is a brief, but telling pause that provides a look into, not only the moment a design is conceived in the artist’s heart, but the path of perseverance he chose which brought it into being.”

• 2002
• Twin set of Steel Sculptures
• 12.5' x 1.75' x 1.75'
• Location: Hearst Center Sculpture Garden, 304 W. Seerely Blvd.

"Drop Leaf Chicken" by Scott Wallace

• 2005
• Bronze
• Location: Cedar Falls Public Library

"’Drop Leaf Chicken’ is intended to reflect American domestic culture. The sculpture, which exploits scale relationships, is presented as an amalgam of embellished forms inspired by the shapes, ornamental qualities, and symbolic wealth of decorative objects. Specifically: a decorative chicken, a drop leaf table, a lace doily, and the shapes often found within wallpaper patterns.”

"Nestled"

"Nestled" by Gillian Christy

• 2001
• Stainless Steel
• 12' x 4' x 6'
• Location: Hearst Sculpture Garden, 304 W. Seerley Blvd.
• Purchased in Memory of Lyle Lillian Baum by her sons Michael, Erik, and Kurt.

"The environment that surrounds me fuels my work. Home is an important place, and I reflected on this after living abroad. It is in "Nestled" that I explore home and nature. The branch symbolizes nature, and the spine upholding everyday life and the many choices and decisions one can make. Home embodies familiarity, all held together with the safe supports of family, friends, and community."

"Ebb Tide" by Tom Stancliffe

• 2000
• Bronze, Stainless Steel
• 12.5' x 1.75' x 1.75'
• Location: Fourth & Main Streets
• Purchased with a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts

“‘Ebb Tide’ is a response to observations of flora and fauna clinging tenaciously to every available surface in the warm ocean waters.  Life that appears alternately fluid and lush or abrasive and arid as the tides rise and fall. A myriad of life forms that exist submerged or suspended at the whim of the moon. This content now seems to be an oddly appropriate reference to the changing floodwater ‘tides’ of the Cedar River.”

"Course" by Tom Stancliffe

• Patinated Steel & Lazertran Materials
• 6' x 14' x 10"
• Location: Cedar Falls, City Hall
• Commissioned in Honor and Thanks to Elected City Officials, sponsored by Individual Donors

"Course"

“The imagery for this relief deals with both the geologic landscape and the history of Cedar Falls. The geologic landscape emphasizes the Cedar River and was created on the steel through the use of etching and burnishing. The Cedar Falls imagery is reproduced from photographs selected from local archives. These photographic images are embedded in the pattern that sunlight makes as it streams through windows found in the historic architecture in Cedar Falls. These photos were digitally reproduced and were applied to the surface of the metal recesses using Lazertran transfer media. I have used what we now think of as "historically significant" images on the most "distant" of windows and have proceeded to present-day images in the largest (or "nearest") window. I am interested in the idea that all photographs become "historic" in time."
