"The sculpture, 'Phenomenon,' by Fisher Stolz
The stainless steel sculpture was featured in the 2015 Peoria Sculpture Walk, where it was said to represent the 'physical and cognitive processes in the brain interacting with and responding to the tangible elements of our physical world.'
The Library Board chose this sculpture because it best represented the library's vision.
Private donations funded the purchase and installation of the sculpture."
