Artist: Kyle Thornley (Revelstoke, BC, Canada)
Underwriter: Heather, Shin & Seth Dickens
“The Texas Dawn Water Lily” was inspired by the Dickens family’s vision of the native splendor of the ecosystem combined with the urban reality of Waterway Square. Thornley captures this vision through natural symbols of interdependence, the cycles of life, and our stewardship of lands and waters.
The vision of the Art Bench Project aligns clearly with Thornley’s goals as an artist – art that evokes a meaningful connection to others, a relationship with the natural setting as inspiration for creative expression, and art that is intentional, people-centric, and holistic.
The “Texas Dawn Water Lily” Art Bench, located on the Southside of The Woodlands Waterway across from The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do what you might have dreamed of as a child: sit on a water lily pad and enjoy the view.
