"Ripple Cove" "Time Pods" "Stones Gait" "Caldera"
by Andrew Dufford, Artscapes

5821 S. Lemay Avenue
Completed 2003

Artscapes worked with the park team on the parks overall design. They then created four individual artworks to compliment the new community park. The "Ripple Cove" is a stone seating area with large stones set at the lakes edge. The "Time Pods" are hand carved stone set along the Time Walk; one is large enough to sit in. "Stones Gait" is an entry area with large stones and the "Caldera", carved into the knoll, allows visitors to view the front range without area buildings obstructions.


Artist's Statement
"I'm a second-generation Colorado native. I have a great appreciation for the amazing natural and human resources of our state. I want my art to point back to the place I'm creating for, drawing attention to the special qualities of the region. I am a full time artist and work extensively with artists, designers and municipalities throughout the region. I feel very lucky to use my talent to enrich our cities and towns."
