Art in Stockton - 'The Calaveras'
Municipal Utility Pump Stations
In
a
project designed to foster community participation and support and
showcase ecological accomplishments, Wowhaus, the artist
team of Scott Constable and Ene Osteraas-Constable, worked with
students at Claudia Landeen Elementary and Amos Alonzo Stagg High
schools to design images and glaze tiles for a large, colorful exterior
art installation on two Municipal Utilities pump stations on Brookside
Road.
The pump house art installation has transformed the buildings into
a striking visual metaphor for a healthy river and ecosystem. 'The
Calaveras' is a unique corrugated tile mural that features two spliced
images on each wall for a dynamic, ever-changing effect.
Students in Stagg High art classes and GATE students from Claudia
Landeen gained inspiration from field trips to the nearby Calaveras
River, in addition to their association with a professional artist
team. |
