Colorful clouds in Madison Square Park
Madison Square Park has just inaugurated the work “To Let the Sky Know/Let the sky know”, by the artist with Argentine roots Ana María Hernando. The piece is created by a series of atmospheric clouds and a cascade of tulle across the lawn of Manhattan’s famous public park. Hernando sculpts delicate sanctuaries inspired by natural forms and transformed through the sewing process, the brilliance of the colors and the environment of the work. Her work features lightness and vibrant colors, driven by concrete expectations of hope, growth, and fluidity. Her sculptures are evocative for their apparent fragility and evanescence. This public art project kicks off the 20th anniversary of the Madison Square Park Conservation Art Program and will be on display through March 17.
