SPORES
An installation by sculptor Chris Weed | March 26 - June 20, 2010
The fourteen sculptures comprising Chris Weed’s Spores have been commissioned specifically for Conflict | Resolution and will be installed in the FAC’s Sculpture Garden and Glass Corridor.
As with the best of Weed’s art, Spores simultaneously suggests something playful yet threatening, natural yet out-scaled, organic yet industrial. Accordingly, the forms at-once appear as seed spores, tumbleweeds, thistles, and nautical mines.
Chris Weed's large-scale works can be found in Colorado Springs and throughout the Denver metropolitan area, including his 24-feet tall Red Paperclips on display in Colorado Springs at the Plaza of the Rockies. Among the most recognized sculptors on the Front Range, he has developed a large following throughout Colorado with collectors and public art commissions.
