ANIMA MOON

Spherical sculptural surface inlaid with irregular mother-of-pearl shell fragments set in black bitumen, mounted on a metal stand.

Public artwork by Joel Kuennen, designed for Pettibone Park on the Mississippi River, directly across from Riverside Park downtown La Crosse. The sculpture will reflect moonlight onto the river and track the Moon as it moves across the night sky, creating a quiet, shared civic presence visible from both sides of the river.
