Swimmer

Just outside the Phoenix Art Museum is this giant sculpture of a swimmer floating through and underwater obstacle.  I'm afraid I don't know the artist's name but, I have always admired this sculpture from a distance.

Very interesting. He really looks swimming in the air.

I dont really associate swimming with your area. Maybe the artisit longs for more water.

I really like it too Sharon, it's such a clever idea.

Is the swimmer turning to swim through the obstacle? There's something about the perspective that seems weird...like where the legs are. :)
