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.
In this transformer in the Stargazer Park, I will use “Colorado Animal Heroes” Such as Bears, Deer, Fox, Hawks 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.
