Lyman Kipp

Lyman Kipp initially viewed his sculptures as self-contained and independent of their environment; however, Wild Rice marks a transition in Kipp’s career when he struck a balance between art and its surroundings. While Wild Rice grabs attention with its bright and playful colors in contrast to the gray and white material of the Plaza’s architecture, the cantilevered structure compliments the horizontal overhangs and vertical supports of the surrounding agency buildings.
