Location: Lancaster Avenue
Type: Stainless Steel
Age: 1 year
The city of Fort Worth commissioned this public art for Lancaster Avenue, aka the "Avenue of Light." Aside from the fact that the artist seems to have opted for full-scale, fully installed, final material prototypes to test whether or not the lighting effect works, I like them.
Over the past several months, I've watched the six 35 foot tall stainless steel trunks undergo constant tweaking of the internal lighting in an attempt to get the hundreds of laser-cut layers of torqued steel to reflect properly. External lighting was eventually added, which feels like cheating, but they look pretty great.
