'Phase Pathway: H20'

Media: Terrazzo, Brass, Etched Sandstone, Polished Black Granite

Size: Terrazzo Floor, 32 ft x 32 ft. Exterior Wall; 6 ft x 49 ft x 5 ft.

Place: Colorado State University - Pueblo, Chemistry Building

This public art was a collaboration with the Chemistry faculty.
We chose a phase 'pathway' from a number of my concepts. The 'Phase Pathway' metaphorically represented the 'pathway' taken to an education in chemistry.
We created a 'Phase Pathway:H20' utilizing water as a solid, liquid and gas.
Inside: For the lobby floor inside the Chemistry Building, we decided to think in terms of gas H2O molecules in the center of the circular terrazzo floor and liquid H2O molecules in the outer edges of the circle.
Outside: The solid, or ice H2O molecules are represented outside on the 50 ft. wall next to the building entrance. This sandstone wall is etched with the solid molecular structure, the oxygen molecules and the hydrogen molecule is represented by polished black granite semispheres in a gradation of sizes. Three foot diameter semi-spheres provide seating on the ground.
