Stream Peace

Stream Peace,

Granite, Pink Marble, and White Marble

Are you struggling to find this sculpture? If so, try listening for the sound of running water and you might find Stream Peace.

Stream Peace is a sculpture found in the courtyard in Warnell. . The sculpture consists of three different pieces to make up a stream. The first pieces are a series of granite columns that make up the bedrock. The second piece is a slab of Etowah pink marble sculpted into a peaceful stream. The last piece is a cascading fall of Tate white marble. Goulding created the sculpture after seeing the natural beauty and geological wealth around Georgia. Goulding crafted Stream Peace during his time as a student for his midterm. The reason Goulding placed the sculpture in the courtyard is due to the nearby storm drain, which sounds like a stream when it has rained recently.
