Cassiopeia is a 1997 creation from artist Nancy Leiserowitz. Her in artist statement she states, “I have been making life-size figures for many years- both from memory and from the model… Sometimes form comes more freely and with its own truth without confrontation with an actual human being. I am particularly interested in making sculpture for the garden for its power to animate an outdoor space.” This is fitting since Cassiopeia certainly animates the space of downtown East Lansing’s Grand Plaza.
