Artwork Description
Primary Art Piece: The Champion’s Flame
Supporting Signage
Park Identity at Champion Park
The Champion’s Flame is a sculptural representation of the competitive spirit. The
Champion’s Flame would consist of several parts: a tiered concrete base, a metal bowl
meant to house the flame, a javelin that would stand vertically from the center, and
twisting metal flames. The flames would be painted a shiny metallic gold on one side,
and a brilliant red on the other, catching the eye, and playing with perspective and light.
There are several opportunities for messages or quotes from past champions to be
integrated into the sculpture, either around the second tier of the concrete base, or
plasma cut into the bowl shape at the sculpture’s base.
Lastly, durable outdoor lights would be integrated into the sculpture, shining upwards,
creating a beautiful and dynamic flame sculpture at night.
Our bid includes a replacement to the current entrance sign. We propose a similar
placement and construction, but with an attractive and complementary sign that links
the park’s signage to the art piece further within the park.
Design Revisions
We want the Meridian Arts Commission to understand these are design concepts, not final
designs. We have included in our bid additional design time to take feedback from the
Commission and fold those into our finalized production designs.
