Colorful Realities
January 10 - February 10

This installation is part of the Art @ One Boulder Plaza program.
One Boulder Plaza is on 13th St. between Canyon Blvd. and Walnut St. in downtown Boulder.
Presented by the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art

About the work: The once vast prairie region of the Front Range was filled with a diversity of native fauna. Prairie dogs, coyotes, elk, mountain lions roamed the open grasslands far before the city of Boulder was built. Colorful Realities is a site-specific installation made from colored acrylic plexiglass panels, laser-etched with the animals who call the Front Range home. The panels are displayed at varying heights, creating a vibrant hanging mural that allows for the viewer to have a different perspective as they move around and through the installation.
