- Description
-
This piece was originally designed for the Downtown Trash Enclosure in the Oak and Remington Parking Lot. Fort Collins Artists Todd Kundla and Teddi Parker collaborated to create an art concept. Todd Kundla created a sculpture using recycled fencing on three sides of the structure and Teddi Parker has painted this related mural on the remaining side. The artists are using imagery of a phoenix to symbolize the rebirth of materials through recycling—a reference to the purpose of the enclosure.
When the enclosure was decommissioned, both artworks were moved to the Timberline Recycling Center where their theme is equally fitting.
