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.

    Most unusual. I'd like to see more of this sculptor's work.

    Sharon, I meant to say, the Hyatt was in my photo yesterday, the building with the circling restaurant on top. You have been everywhere...

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

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

    I like it too... some public art leaves me scratching my head, but I get this and I like the strength it portrays...
