Mentor, Ohio—An art sculpture, designed to provide tranquil sight and sound with the movement of rainwater, utilizes W.S. Tyler’s Egla-Twin and Doka-Mono Architectural Woven Wire Cloth. The Liquid Zone sculpture, which has the appearance of swimming whales, is located at Southern Connecticut State University. It is designed with a series of stainless steel channels and vertical surfaces in which collected rainwater slowly trickles down through the channels to provide a tranquil setting for passing visitors.

Two different designs of W.S. Tyler wire cloth were used because of the desire for varying weaves and apertures. Egla-Twin was chosen for the special optic effects created by its “twin” wires and for its flexibility. Doka-Mono offered additional aesthetic value to the structure with its transparent, yet reflective appearance.

Architectural Woven Wire Cloth offers a unique ornamental mesh design, and in many applications serves functional requirements as well. It is available in a variety of styles, designs and materials and is woven in stainless steel and other exotic metals. Egla-Twin and Doka-Mono are just two of many styles manufactured by W.S. Tyler and Haver & Boecker. Together, these companies have been leaders in the production of woven wire cloth products, worldwide, dating back to the late 1800’s.
