Imagine industrial sewer pipe that is actually art work. That's what is on display at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. Six artists collaborated with several Phoenix area companies that make pipe and ceramic glazes to product these large, columnar pieces of art that form an exhibit called "Pipe Dreams."
Pictured on the right above is "Driving to the University," by artist Patrick Silber. Located at the car rental facility, this almost one ton, eight foot tall sculpture commands part of the lobby area. On the left is a photo from the descriptions of the exhibit that shows the giant beehive kiln where the tall extruded clay pipes were fired. Ceramic columns created by six different artists are on display throughout various parts of Sky Harbor Airport. Travelers enjoy the artwork as they pass through the busy Phoenix airport hub.
