The sculptural installation, Wildflower, is an abstraction of a field of wildflowers inspired by the annual
bloom of brightly colored flowers along Texas interstate highways. Comprised of about 80 steel vertical
elements with heights varying from 5'6" — 9'6", the artwork creates visual impact from Interstate 30 and
reflects the diverse nature of the surrounding community. Taking color palette inspiration from native
species of wildflowers, verticals will be painted in various shades of yellow, orange and red. In addition,
quotes suggested by the community about the value of reading will be cut into 6-8 elements.
The East Regional Library is the first civic structure one sees when entering Fort Worth from the east.
As such, the artwork will serve as a gateway that will call attention to the library and will be accessible
to a large and diverse audience that reaches beyond Fort Worth city limits.
