public art


There are metal fountain animals off the river next to sierra street. They have a patina on them giving them contrast. The green opaque color further reminds you of there habitat and the sage brush around them . You see various native species through out the wall ranging from quail to mule deer. The images are created with the layering of metal in thin strips to create a embossed design. The several layers in the piece help shade in parts of the design and suggest feathers to hair. I could not find the artist however but if you know who it is please comment to let me know.

The artist I believe was trying to show us what the words really mean. When read by themselves the words don't convey the emotions that you get from the picture. How the entire village was killed. The women, the children and even the babies. Generations of people killed in an instant. A void left where life once was. A soul where the body now lays. I think this picture is a great representaion of a artist and the 4th role they play.
