- Description

A constellation is a group of stars that forms an imaginary outline or meaningful pattern on the celestial sphere, typically representing an animal, mythological person, a god, or an inanimate object. The creators of the constellation images used them to relate stories of their beliefs, experiences, or mythology. I am using the constellations as stories/experiences that represent Colorado’s Outdoor heroes in all of us.
The star images in “Adventure Heroes” in the Stargazer Parking lot, will be things we find in our local Adventure stories - Mountaineers, Skiers, Hikers, Cyclers and more. On both, a connected star pattern is repeated in the designs. The Northern lights/ Milky Way swirls break up the designs. Also included in the “sky" is stars, planet and shooting stars icons. I intended the designs as if we were making our own mythology from our local experiences.
