"Nurture" injects an element of surprise into the urban routine, brings to life the hidden layers of the park, brings a spark of better environmental quality, inspires the imagination and opens the window of what else could be possible.
NURTURE
"Nurture," is a functional public art installation that extends its ramifications to reach the people and communities from the diverse activities that surround 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. Park extension of the Oklahoma City Hall's gardens and right next to Oklahoma City Museum of Art.
