Analysis of the Steel Artworks in the Cullen Sculpture Garden The sculptures that adorn the acre-wide Cullen Sculpture Garden are not just an exhibit. They are an experience. They are to be walked amongst‚ and viewed as they are exposed to the elements. Light‚ shadow‚ weather‚ all play a part in how they are viewed throughout the day.
