"The Wedge" sculpture at Arts Collinwood

wedge:  3.  Any action or procedure that serves to open the way for a gradual change.

Webster's Dictionary 

The definition above exemplifies the changes that have happened and are happening on Waterloo. My concept takes all of that change in consideration. In the sunlight, The Wedge installation becomes a vibrant shape of color with its tonal bands glowing in a rhythmic pattern. During those gray days of Cleveland, the installation is a bright and uplifting stroke of massive color and provides an atmospheric backdrop for performances. It is a fantastic beacon of art, ingenuity, and collaboration for the Collinwood area.

Abe Olvido is the creator of The Wedge.
