Anne Allardyce-Tully captures the spirit of the Congress Heights community in her sculpture. East of the River: Connections represents "connections" by depicting the interconnected world of the natural (represented by the river element) and the built world (the elements that bridge the river and create a gateway - from road systems to bus routes to Metro lines). The abstract sculpture embraces a stylized river. Allardyce-Tully states, "coming across the river you are entering a real neighborhood - it is home…the station is a gateway across the river; the area is a gateway to the past and the future."

Anne Allardyce currently lives and works in the Hudson Highlands, NY. She has built and installed complex large-scale site-specific art in Canada, the United States and Japan.

This project was made possible in part by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
