"Nurture" injects an element of surprise into urban life, brings to life the hidden layers of the park, carries a spark of better environmental quality, inspires the imagination, and opens the window to what else is possible.
NURTURE
"Nurture" is a functional public art installation that extends its ramifications to the people and communities surrounding this city park.
To find a dialogue between rigid vs. fluid, attract attention, and provide a welcoming focal point, a color's combination is used as one of the elements to produce a vibrant artwork that flows with the space but softens the rigidness of the straight architectural lines of the buildings around it.
Materials: Ferrocement polished, glass mosaic tile, metal coated with Line-X Ultra, stainless steel hardware.
Location: Hightower Park, Downtown Oklahoma City, OK. The park is an extension of Oklahoma City Hall's gardens.
