Everreel by Evan Lewis
EVERREEL was installed at the new Oakton-Skokie CTA station (northwest corner of Skokie Boulevard and Searle Parkway) on Wednesday, June 20, 2012. The sculpture was formally dedicated at the Community Celebration on Sunday, June 24, 2012.
The Village of Skokie's Public Arts Advisory Committee (PAAC) commissioned Chicago based sculptor Evan Lewis to create the stainless steel piece. The name EVERREEL is a play on words that references the sculpture being almost constantly in motion.
Lewis has been producing and exhibiting outdoor kinetic wind sculptures since 1984. Lewis' work to create kinetic wind sculptures have been commissioned in locations such as Chicago, Illinois, Toledo, Ohio, Phoenix, Arizona, Denver, Colorado and Chattanooga, Tennessee to name a few.
Everreel is located at Oakton-Skokie CTA Station, northwest corner of Skokie Boulevard and Searle Parkway.
