Synergy

‘Synergy’ is the positive interaction of multiple parts to create a better whole. Fritz Olsen’s Synergyrepresents and symbolizes Innovation, Collaboration and Exploration. These actions together as a group magnify and accelerate positive change and growth within a community to foster prosperity. And bring about a more resilient community.”

Spend a moment reflecting on the parts that make this sculpture whole. Consider how Synergy might be different if the three triangular shapes didn’t connect with one another. How might that affect its form and function? What three aspects of your own community make it strong, prosperous, or resilient?

Fritz Olsen traded his studio on Goose Island in Chicago for the rural countryside of Sawyer, Michigan. He works in a beautifully restored 1930’s Azalia nursery just off the shores of Lake Michigan and exhibits his sculptures in his Gallery and Sculpture Gardens. For Thirty nine years he has been creating sculptures in stone, bronze and steel. His works can be found in public, private, and corporate collections across the United States.
