We loved working on the newest and most significant private contribution to public art in Columbus that hangs at the corner of High and Gay Streets. Illuminated at night and visible from all four directions at different elevations, the sculpture can be seen by airplane. Janet Echelman’s piece comprises 78 miles of twine woven into over 500,000 knots, which spans 83 feet wide and 229 feet long, 128 feet in the air.
