Recently ranked as one of the Top 50 artworks built in 2018, this interesting display is made up of 5.768 individual pieces and climbs 8 feet tall around Southwest and Southeast corners of the new Stonewall Station Parking garage. It's not a great spot to enjoy unless you are headed into Uptown on Caldwell Street. I had to park on the 277 onramp and hope not to get a ticket as I took my pictures and tried to appreciate the artwork. The piece is suspended as a one continuous piece without the use of a secondary support system.According to information I found online, "The 16-inch deep directional folds across the structural skin borrows from the concept of nappe--a geological term relating to both the movement and form that creates the earth's peaks and valleys over their tectonic history. A dynamic cultural asset for the City of Charlotte, Wanderwall celebrates the spirit of growth and discovery."Worth a stop to check it out.[Review 11551 overall, 1331 of 2019.]
