Wisconsin State Artwork

Why this Wisconsin artwork features a Lake Superior ice cave

Wisconsin's northern edge meets Lake Superior in a landscape of sandstone cliffs, forest and dramatic seasonal change. Inspired by the ice caves of the Apostle Islands region, this artwork places a glowing sandstone arch, hanging icicles, frozen shoreline and Northwoods pines inside Wisconsin's geographic silhouette - creating a crisp winter portrait of the Badger State shaped by water, rock and cold northern light.
