WORTH, TX Agreement between the City of Fort Worth and Demarcus McGaughey DB/A In House Media for Public Art for Fire Station 426 Page 7 of 10 Exhibit F: Approved Conceptual Design Proposal Quilting, historically a practice of care, preservation, and shared history, becomes here a metaphor for civic unity. Stitched in Service transforms the language of quilting into a contemporary public artwork that is both visually striking and deeply communal. The installation features a quilt -inspired tile composition housed within a wall -mounted light box and illuminated with a soft blue glow. This illumination ensures the work is visible and welcoming both day and night, creating a beacon of reassurance that mirrors the presence of the fire department. The surface design will be composed of black and white line drawings that are colored by Hulen residents using mediums of choice like crayons, markers, collages, or watercolors in a paint by numbers technique during a community engagement event. Selected drawings will be scanned and integrated into the final composition, forming layered, expressive tiles rich with symbolism, storytelling, and personal touch as love letters. Overlapping the square tiles is a red stitching layer, binding the tiles together and symbolizing the connection between firefighters and the community they serve. Each square carries color, texture, memory, and meaning, reinforcing the idea that public safety is a collective effort built on trust and mutual respect. Mounted above the illuminated quilt surface, three large die -cut firefighter figures printed in blue on aluminum steel, backlit with Blue LED Lights over the light box, will be stacked in dimensional layers. Their presence represents brotherhood, trust, and unwavering commitment to protection. The iconic Maltese Cross, also die cut and printed in blue and outlined in red on aluminum, will be mounted above the 3 firefighters and LED backlit, reinforcing the values of courage, service, and sacrifice. The Texas image and the year 1968 establish the history of Station 26. The layered construction adds depth and shadow, creating a dynamic interplay of light and form that draws viewers in while maintaining a clean, approachable aesthetic in keeping with the station's traditional and commercial surroundings.
