Dedication of "Crossroads of Connection: Roots & Fruits" at the
Martin Way/Pacific Art Crossing
|
|
Please join the City of Olympia in celebrating the completion of Crossroads of Connection: Roots & Fruits. Working from community meetings, surveys and neighborhood plans, project artists Jennifer Corio and Dave Frei built their design for the Martin Way/Eastside St. Art Crossing around values such as connection, collaboration and diversity. The completed sculptures consists of an apple tree in the west triangle of the intersection and the sharing of the harvest in the sculpture to the east.
Fruit trees figures prominently in the history of the Eastside, and represents abundance and the gifts and assets of the community. The different colors of apples and the hands sharing fruit pick up the theme of diversity, and the circle shapes represent wholeness and reiterate the shape of wheels in the multimodal corridor.
