Medusa is a steel structure that has steel concrete re-enforcing bars as snake hair,[the same type and size that I helped install tons of in the Bbridge,] her eyes are 2 bike wheels that I have woven sheet metal into the spokes so that the wind will make them spin. When the wind comes into the city [inhales] her eyes spin inward, when the wind goes out of the city,[exhales] her eyes will spin outward. Proving that Grand Rapids is alive and breathing on her own, not dying as was stated.There is also some interactive art for the young ones. These will be striking snakes that they strike to hear the different tones that the various shapes, size, and lengths of bar make.NEW, Kim and I just returned from New York with 12 new re-bars from the new World Trade Center tower to use in MEDUSA's wind chime earrings.The re-bar supplier donated them.The way the wind always seems to blow on the Grand River these wind chime earrings should constantly ring and remind all of us of that fatefull day,9-11
