The arresting swirling delicate sculptures by Vicky Scuri decorate two bridges over the Arkansas Rover into downtown Wichita KS.
These sculptures complement the wonderful "Keeper of the Plains" sculpture, located several blocks north at the confluence of the Arkansas and Little Arkansas Rivers nearby.
These abstract modern sculptures were installed as part of the "Beautifying Wichita Through Sculpture" program by the city of Wichita, and they most certainly do!!
