- Description
-
Fort Collins artist Tim Upham worked with the Twin Silo Park Project Team to develop a concept for art at the site of the park. The artwork, entitled Harvest Sky is designed to complement the theme of the adjacent Harvest Room space and fruiting orchard. The artwork is integrated into the top of the 60' orchard arbor, adjacent to the Harvest Room.
During the day visitors pass under a canopy of over forty colored circles of polycarbonate that create a stained glass effect in the sunshine. A matrix of stainless steel pipe creates a latticework of geometrical vines and stems that act as the structure and support for the colorful “fruit.”
