Art en Route: "Paciencia"
Aluminum and steel, painted, 1981
Artist: John Henry
Constructed of linear tubes of aluminum and steel jutting at oblique angles, Paciencia stands 31 feet high and creates a bright visual statement against the massive South Miami Metrorail station. Painted a vivid yellow, the elements wrap around each other in a circular, rising motion that creates a fluidity and lightness of feeling, in contrast to the heavy, static forms with which they are created. First exhibited at the Chicago Art Fair in 1982, this sculpture was purchased by Art in Public Places and installed later that year.
