ARTIST‘S STATEMENT: Ken Williams Studio.
As you approach the bridge, two vertical spires of the sculpture with their circular steel sun/rainbow elements reach skyward in the midst of the landscape, creating a portal through which travelers will pass. The sculpture reinforces and defines the idea that Pueblo has historically been recognized as the crossroads to the great Southwest.
WHAT STORY DOES THE SCULPTURE IMAGES TELL?
The sculpture was designed to fully integrate in harmony with its surroundings. The triangular constructions of the two spires are positioned in such a way that the angled sides push inward against the vertical sides that visually create the portal. The angled and curved steel will frame the natural warmth and color of the ceramic tile with pictorial elements that recognize and reflect the history, industry, culture and landscape of the region.
