Flowmotion
2014
NANCY LOVENDAHL (AMERICAN)
Powder-coated Spun Aluminum
Exercise and Sports Sciences Building
Flowmotion is inspired by the science of water dispersion
when a swimmer dives into a pool. It relates to basic scientific
flow concepts such as the nature of fluids, relative motions,
flotation of the human body, skin friction, and drag and lift.
Lovendahl portrays a diver penetrating water using color
and abstract form made of spun aluminum hemispheres
attached to the brick wall. The mural is intended to inspire
activated energy for the viewer.
