Untitled (A Seventy Foot Love Letter to the Queen)

William Schickel was commissioned by the city to design a work of art that could be seen from the elevated skywalk. Using aluminum panels of varied shapes affixed to a brick wall, he has created symbols that refer to Cincinnati, the Queen City of the West. They appear in the outline of panels, the negative space between the panels and the gestural painting on the panels. Schickel, who has received national recognition as an artist and designer, also has work in New Harmony, Indiana, and Gethsemani, Kentucky.
