Wandering Rocks (2/5)
Wandering Rocks is a public art work designed by American artist Tony Smith, located at the Lynden Sculpture Garden near Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The five-part sculpture of rectilinear forms has highly reflective surfaces and is installed on the lawn.[1] While these "rocks" are individual elements they were conceived as a single artwork without fixed spatial relationships to each other.[2] They have been installed in a variety of ways, each being slightly different.
