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.
