I did a lot of research and came up with very little information about this sculpture. It surprises me that Seattle Center doesn't have more information about their commissioned art. I will correct the information above with this new information. :) Interesting, thanks Kim! I did a lot of research and came up with very little information about this sculpture.

I will correct the information above with this new information. :)

The name of the installation is actually "The Grassblades," from all the info I've ever read. John Fleming is the principal architect for r-b-f Architecture, and he worked with artist Susan Zoccola to design the installation. Here's a bit about Susan. <a href="http://www.4culture.org/publicart/registry/sites/sites_artist.asp?ArtistID=80" rel="nofollow">http://www.4culture.org/publicart/registry/sites/sites_artist.asp?ArtistID=80</a> This is one of my fave art works to see photos of. . .everyone's take is so different and some really creative perspectives and effects have come out in people's shots of these. I've always thought they look a bit like brightly colored film strips or negatives. Always love your shots, -Kim Hey Shawn, super photo of these.

See what would win in a fight to the death between the International Fountain and the Space Needle! I know, once Blarch Badness is over, we to something similar but with aspects of Seattle Center.

Maybe we should "commission" a survey to rank the most photographed aspects of Seattle Center. I'm guessing that #1 would be the Space Needle, #2 children playing in the International Fountain, ...
