FLOWER STRUCTURE
– SUWANEE
Chicago may be coined “The Windy City,” but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy kinetic art (a.k.a. wind-activated moving sculptures) here in Gwinnett. The Kinetic Flower Structure by Al Garnto, located in Suwanee, is a part of the city’s 2019 SculpTour and is made of carbon steel, stands at a towering 12 feet and weighs over 300 pounds!
