Where was I
On May 7 of this year i stopped at a rest area in Tennessee could have been near Chattanooga, Nashville or Memphis. I took a picture of a sculpture entitled The man in the wind and west moon. Can anyone help identify where that was. if you know please send answer to vsludwig@yahoo.com
sculpture name
You got the background from the newspaper, but I think it's also interesting that "the man in the wind and the west moon" is a line from the poem "And Death Shall Have No Dominion" by Dylan Thomas.

THE MAN IN THE WIND AND THE WEST MOON, 1995
painted steel
The suspended circles in Keim’s bright blue and yellow
abstract sculpture could be imagined as phases of the
moon. The artist describes the branching off of colorful
lines in space as being like the improvisations in jazz music.
AL KEIM
“I listen to jazz as I work and deal
with rhythm, tone, color, intensity,
flow and melody much as a jazz
quartet takes a familiar song as the
basis of its improvisation. My
sculpture uses basic geometric
shapes combined in ways which
occupy space the way musical notes
occupy time.”
Keim, who studied art as a Duke undergraduate and earned
his BA in English literature at Maryville College, learned
welding at Chattanooga State Area Vocational and Technical
School. He began showing welded metal sculpture in the mid
1970s and was included in the 1975 Tennessee All-State and
1976 Central South Exhibits. During the summer of 1976 he
studied privately with David Smith and attended Bennington
College’s Summer Welded Metal Sculpture Workshop where
he worked with Mark di Suvero.
Keim’s career took off in 1979 when he was invited to install
four outdoor works as long term loans at Knoxville’s Dulin
Gallery of Art. Commissions for the Dogwood Arts Festival
and Knoxville private collections soon followed, as well as an
invitation to show a piece in the 1984 University of Tennessee
Campus Sculpture Tour. Permanent public works for TVA’s
Chattanooga Office Complex, TVA’s Browns Ferry Nuclear
Plant, and TVA’s Watts Bar Nuclear Plant were commissioned
from the mid to late 1980s. His work was featured in a solo
show at Nashville’s Cumberland Gallery in 1991. Keim’s works
are included in the permanent collections of the University of
Tennessee, Steiner-Liff Industries, Nashville, and the Nashville
International Airport.
