A three-part sculpture that uses bent steel to direct the falling rain, Rain Towers, acknowledges the climate of New Orleans and its volume of annual rainfall. During a storm, rain is funneled through the V-shaped chutes of the piece creating the effect of rain pouring through downspouts on a building.
This piece is also represented in the Percent For Art Collection in four pastel studies by Helen Escobedo.
