"The site where John Monti's piece is installed was previously a drab, forgotten corner. I'm happy to say that is it now a beacon of brightness that welcomes visitors to our ambulatory buildings. At the top of the stairs just off our Main Lobby, it was an important and very visible corner to upgrade. The Blood Donor Center is also at this intersection and was looking for ways to highlight their location. John Monti's piece does this beautifully."
(Jessica Finch, Art Coordinator, Facilities Management at Children's Hospital Boston)
