A 22' by 5' by 5' is a
yellow and red painted steel geometric abstract sculpture entitled Wild Rice. It
is located in the northwest side of the Empire State Plaza between Legislative
Office Building and Agency Building #4 in Albany, NY. This sculpture by Lyman

The yellow part of Wild Rice consists of four vertical square beams set at right angles to each other forming an equilateral cross. On to of the cross are red painted beams set horizontally to form a cross that extends over the yellow beams. The sculpture stands in a circular concrete space in the middle of a walkway.
