Shepard Cylinders 

The Shepard Historical Columns are three dimensional relief sculptures that depict the imagery of the ads used in the Shepard Historical Chronicler. Each of the five sculptures represents a twenty year period. The style of design used in the compositions  reflects the time period represented. Each cylinder has cracks along their length that allow light from neon bulbs inside to shine through. A computer changes the color of the neon lights.  Together the pieces create a visual light dance along  street level windows where they are installed.
