Habitats
Denver Public Art 1%
2025.25.1
Habitat's design was inspired by concepts around Ecology and Home; and themes around Where We Live. The "we" being all living being in our communities, flora and fauna. The sculpture Habitats is about recognizing that human's coexistence with other life forms & their habitats.
Habitats celebrates the forms of shelter along with the ecological flora that also creates habitats. The sculpture is composed of 3 archway structures, that are physically engaging while maintaining the feel of outside and nature - large enough to be seen but not dominating the landscape or taking away from the natural beauty of the park and trail.
At the trail edge, there is an interactive listening station with stories collected by Sacred Return from local Native Cheyenne community members and a story collage from neighborhood storytellers; sharing their connections to ecology and where we live.
