Permanent Installation at Stanford University, Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge). Collection of Indianapolis Museum of Art). The image illustrates a key body of work in Alyson Shotz's career in the 2000s: her series of large-scale, site-specific works for museums, institutions and governmental agencies throughout the United States. These works actively engage viewers in investigations of perception, spatial experiential and ethereal phenomena, employing a range of materials. In this work, acrylic with dichroic lamination and an welded aluminum frame, create a glimmering, undulating lattice that appears lightweight and ephemeral, yet weighs more than 3,000 pounds. This work was publicly commissioned and exhibited in prominent venues and discussed in major art journals and daily press publications.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key body of work in Alyson Shotz's career that date to the 2000s, when she was commissioned to create a series of large-scale, site-specific works, including pieces for the High Museum of Art, Cleveland Clinic, MTA Arts & Design (New York), AT&T Stadium (Dallas), Stanford University Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge, and U.S. General Services Administration. These works continued to explore the nature of perception, experiential boundaries, and ephemeral phenomena, employing craftsmanship, process-intensive methods of accumulation and structure-building, in a range of materials including cut lenses, beaded wire, aluminum laminated dichroic acrylic, welded aluminum and glass or ceramic mosaic. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to understand this key, public and commissioned body of work, which brought Shotz ongoing recognition and coverage by major critics and publications. Shotz's work of this type is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.
