lyrical wall
Located in Bonnet Springs Park, the Lyrical Wall sculpture was designed with the goal of creating joy and participation in mind. The foot print of the sculpture is similar in line and form to the music symbol of a treble clef, and serves as a serendipitous discovery within the sculpture.

Lyrical Wall is constructed of stainless steel, glass gems, and enhanced with vegetation, designed to integrate the sculpture into the landscape. The delicate lines and decorative poly-chromed elements are graceful and lyrical. Included within the Sculpture are interactive elements that mimic the sound of rain. Designed for Heritage Gardens at Bonnet Springs Park.
We worked closely with NuVu Innovation Studios, the student designers, ART Research Enterprises, and Bonnet Springs Park. Our partnership with NuVu Innovation Studios at All Saints Academy offered student artists the opportunity to work in the public realm – one of Platform Art’s six core goals. The student response to our call-for-design competition yielded proposals from twelve student teams. Selection criteria included materials, location, cost, and sustainability.
