I believe public art should be rooted in its particular place, responding in a meaningful and distinct way to the community, and to its natural and built environment. I'm drawn to projects that provide art that is free and accessible. Using materials like steel and aluminum, I partner with the best local craftsmen to bring my art installations to life. I often pepper my work with organic forms, textures, and vibrant color palettes. I've chosen 4 examples as representations of similar work and scope to this Meridian Park project. Thank you! KEE"' NOMI � f � ART PLAN FOR VRT'S MAIN STREET STATION and KEEP MOVING PEOPLE This Art Plan illustrates the potential for public art installations with the goal of creating a memorable and unique experience for bus patrons. Several projects were integrated with construction including KEEP MOVING PEOPLE, a collage of hundreds of broken "transportation" toys that greet visitors.

The plasma -cut checkerboard pattern inside the reeds was inspired by Keith's love of the Meridian Speedway. Custom glass accents in the pheasant wings reflect his career in the glass business. The park's entry sign is two giant 12' pheasant feathers. Photos by Cassie Phippen.

With the gantois pattern, color, and skeletal letters, it combines elements from the public art team's other park designs into one recognizable 22' tall totem. Finch Tower is topped by a yellow goldfinch, Glenn Rhode's favorite bird. The wings will flutter on windy days. An interpretive panel tells the story of Glenn Rhodes and the skatepark and also recognizes the history of the community murals. A sculptural goldfinch also reads the information.
