"The Tempest". This peice of art was installed at Collins Park in Miami Beach. This was a contribute to the "Art in Public Places" series, Brian saw Miami as a location that was physically and culturally shaped by the sea. Brian describes this structure as, "Sculpture of shimmering blue green expanse, which appears to have been carved from the sea, frozen in space and times, in the form of a swirling celestial maze." Brian allows his visitors to engange in this art but allowing them to wander and explore the waves structures as close as possible.
