Dedicated Aug. 12, 1992. Medium:  Bronze and stainless steel. Dimensions:  Approx. 35 x 20 x 20 ft. (15,000 lbs.) Inscription:  Canneto 1992 signed Description:  "Crafted from bronze, a historically old material, and modern stainless steel, it symbolizes the confluence of history and technology. Notches cut in the top pieces act as a wind instrument when the breeze swirls around it. Three bronze graceful forms intersect at the top while three stainless steel 'lightning bolts' intersect near the middle. Water flows down the bronze forms from a fountain set 6 feet high in the sculpture and into the 20 ft. x 20 ft. pool. The sculpture and surrounding pool rest on the ground in an irregular planting bed." Subject:  Allegory -- Other -- Trade History -- United States -- Ohio Abstract Object Type:  Fountain Kinetic Outdoor Sculpture -- Ohio -- Columbus Sculpture Owner:  Administered by Huntington National Bank, Corporate Relations, 41 South High Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215 Located Broad & High Streets, Columbus, Ohio Remarks:  IAS files contain copies of The Columbus Dispatch (Columbus, OH), July 24, 1992, pg. B-1, The Columbus Dispatch (Columbus, OH), Feb. 25, 1992, pg. 1, The Columbus Dispatch (Columbus, OH), Aug. 14, 1992, pg. B-5, a news release from Huntington Bank and a flyer from the dedication ceremony. The sculpture was made with a computer-driven design and metal cutting equipment. The DeFab Company was the metal working contractor and Jezerinac Geers & Associates engineered and installed the piece. The piece was commissioned the Huntington National Bank to celebrate its 126th anniversary at that corner. See IAS files for text of nearby plaque which indicates the sculpture is a symbol of the merger of culture, commerce and the community, and reinforces P. W. Huntington's (founder of bank) vision of the corner as the fountainhead of local industry and enterprise. The artist also intended the piece to allude to the intersection of two cultures. In the 1800s, this site, was used by native Americans to travel back and forth from Lake Erie to the Ohio River. Broad Street was once the National Road, the nation's first cross-country road, which opened up the West to settlers in the 1830s. References:  Save Outdoor Sculpture, Ohio, Columbus survey, 1992.
