Reflection Rising
Scottsdale's Reflection Rising is designed by Patrick Shearn. Shearn's worldwide installations compel viewers to slow down and follow the undulating movement of the artwork, which appears to hand in thin air.
Stretching for three football fields along the Scottsdale Waterfront, “Reflection Rising” is the latest large-scale project commissioned by Scottsdale Public Art. Made of thousands of nylon streamers designed to take the air like a kite.
From the surrounding walkways, views of the rippling sculpture will emerge in the reflective surface of the canal, evoking the colors of the sunset. At the Soleri Bridge Plaza, the piece will rise and fall in graceful waves, casting dappled shade and sunlight on those gathered below. The custom-designed work was installed Nov. 13 and will soar above the waterfront, illuminating much of the Arizona Canal through March 2018.
