Calm Waters

Calm Waters is a 2013 mixed-media installation by artist Kathy Bradford, which consists of seven panels of 3⁄8-inch (9.5 mm) thick glass that sit several inches in front of a painted abstract pattern resembling waves in blue, gray and teal.

Of the work's subject and purpose, the artist has said, "This imagery is of a large body of calm water with cloud reflections throughout the composition.

"[1] Calm Waters was commissioned by Eskenazi Health as part of a re-imagining of the organization's historical art collection and to support "the sense of optimism, vitality and energy" of its new campus in 2013.

[2][3] In response to its nationwide request for proposals, Eskenazi Health received more than 500 submissions from 39 states, which were then narrowed to 54 finalists by an independent jury.

Calm Waters is installed in the Richard M. Fairbanks Burn Center on the 4th level of Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital.
