caption_attribution_description: English: Richard Rhodes' Untitled Stone Wave is a permanent installation at the Tacoma Art Museum. In addition to providing a strong base in its own right, the piece serves as a base for other artists, such as Chihuli's Niijima Floats shown in this image.
context_page_description: Stone Wave occupies the central courtyard of Tacoma, Washington's Tacoma Art Museum and is a major public work by sculptor Richard Rhodes of Seattle, Washington. Completed in May, 2003, the wave is constructed using 650 unique pieces of antique Chinese granite laid on a substrate of closed-cell foam and mortar. At once echoing the surging of waves and the volcanic core of Mount Rainier, the sculpture presents a zone of visual serenity among the museum's galleries.
