Exhibit F: Approved Preliminary Design
EASTCHASE ISLAND is an extraordinary place set within the ordinary urban environment. It is a place of refuge for
the passing motorist. A mental vacation from the everyday grind and a creative escape for the tired imagination. This
magical place will become known as one of Fort Worth’s most unique traffic intersections. It will serve as a suburban
monument to the natural world and provide a sense of identity for the Eastchase area.
The proposed artwork consists of multiple sculptural elements that together make up a storybook-like setting. Inspired by
the micro world of insects, bugs and plant spores, this sculptural landscape is a fantasy world of fanciful forms. Large
stainless-steel mushroom-like structures with intricately cut patterns. A heroic size snail created from layers of core ten
steel. A scattering of black steel ants that roam aimlessly about, and a colorful ceramic tile toad that keeps watch over the
river of cars. Overall, the story of Eastchase Island is a fable about coexistence. The way we live our lives in a delicate
dance with nature. How, as humans, we are shaped by the same natural forces, and instincts, that perpetuate and define
all living things.
