Pods and Blooms from Brooklyn

September 4th, 2007 admin Posted in Art, Fort Collins, Public Places |

You may have noticed some recent growth on the side of Prospect Road on your way to I-25. The sculptures are entitled “Pods and Blooms” and they are part of the Fort Collins Art in Public Places.

The pieces were created by May & Watkins Design from Brooklyn, New York. And judging from their web site it seems May & Watkins is some sort of public art factory, not much personality to the “biography.” You can find it here.

The large size of the pieces work well  close to a road such as Prospect as I am sure most viewers will be checking the sculptures out at 45 miles an hour. Up close and at a stand still the pieces are very simple with little detail and a fast coat of paint. I took a few shots during a recent bike ride. (see below)
