"Born of Place"
4100 A
My concept for the two sites along the Wylie Municipal Trail address's the link between the ,
community of Wylie,Texas and its geographic origins of place,defined by the original Black Land Prairie of •
the area. It is my goal to create a pair of iconic sculptures that address these shared themes of resilience
and interconnectivity.
To illustrate the concept at Site A, I propose a sculpture that combines a series of modernist stalks
of prairie grass with a spiraling, circular element that serves as a metaphor for community. The 26'tall
grass element will be made to look as if the wind is blowing across its tops, bending them into a gentle
arc. They will be made of stainless steel. The top 3'to 4' of each of the grasses will be perforated to
allude to the tufts found at the top of prairie grasses and will be lit from within at night. The other major
element of the sculpture is meant to convey a sense of community. It will be circular in form and will be
approximately 16' in diameter. It will spiral open at the top to envelop, or integrate into the grass element. f 1
It will be made from CorTen steel and will be used as a canvas to display either a pattern of stylized,
high contrast portraits, or a line pattern made from silhouettes. The subjects of the images will be taken ; ,
from photos that my team will take of various citizens of Wylie. The subjects will be representative of
the demographics of the town.Together,these two elements will convey a sense of community born of
the prairie;to convey a sense of resilience that both share. The sculpture will be set in the island that is i
formed by the sidewalk. By placing the work in this location people will be able to see the work from the
roads as they pass by as well as by hikers who use the trail. When one hikes up to the sculpture,they
will be able to see that the somewhat abstract, floral pattern is actually made from portraits of members "
of the community. The artwork will be pure in its simplicity of form and materials. It will be made from •
stainless steel and from pre rusted CorTen steel. . ! I

The sister sculpture at Site B will
be similar in its message of a resilient
community born of the prairie. It will utilize
the same elements as the sculpture at
Site A, but this time the spiraling circular
element will be horizontal to create a place
of rest and contemplation. Stone benches , .
•along with an additional stone support will , • . •
added to the design of this version. The
stone support will juxtapose with the grass i `"+
element in holding up the circular canopy • ' ;:,.,. ---
as the built environment coexisting with ;- • ' .
nature to support community. Again, the , 4'1.. • :
pattern cut through the canopy will either be ., _ '.r .
a series of overlapping line drawings from . ,..� . s , g . `:.

Regional Transportation District
art•n•transit
August 30, 2005
To whom it may concern:
Michael Clapper has been awarded two commissions for artwork by the RTD (Regional Transportation District) in Denver, Colorado.
The first commission is for the Colfax and Federal Bus Transfer facility. Michael designed a very thoughtful and beautiful piece and developed a unique way to involve
the community in this artwork. In addition to his aesthetics, he has been a pleasant and patient artist to work with. We plan to install this piece this fall, and everyone is looking
forward to seeing the final artwork in place.
Just recently Michael was awarded a second commission by the RTD and I look forward to working with him on this next piece as well. The RTO is extremely pleased
with Michael's artwork and I would recommend him, without reservation,for a commission with any organization. Feel free to call me with any other questions.
Sincerely,
Brenda Tierney

Flying Discs, a Sculpture for the Disc Golf Park (Site 3)
I
I listened carefullyto theentire audiorecording of the meeting at which people from the
I
community expressed their ideas for artworks for this project (unfortunately, I was unable to
attend), and I tried to incorporate those ideas, along with my own, in my design. Adjectives I
Iheard often in the discussion were "whimsical" and "colorful". I took those words and the theme
of the Disc Golf Park as my starting points.
IIn putting them into a 3-dimensional form I extended concepts I employed in recent
I
projects, such as those in El Paso, TX and Rome, NY. It was clear to me that a tall sculpture was
indicated, so as to be visible from all over the Park, as well as Brown Street, Markham Drive, and
Ibeyond. And, as stipulated in the Call to Artists, it would incorporate lighting (as in my El Paso
sculpture).
IThe design I developed is a tall sculpture consisting of 12 brightly colored posts, each one
I a different color of the spectrum, so that they make up a "color wheel".At a height of 9 feet they
project outward from a center axis like spokes of the wheel, making a tilted circle in the air at a
Iheight of 17 feet with a diameter of 10 feet. The posts are topped with "flying disc" forms which
are made of translucent urethane pigmented in the same colors of the spectrum, but arranged
I
on the posts in the opposite, or complementary color. Each disc is 20 inches in diameter, making
the total diameter of the entire circle in the air about 12 feet.
IThe discs would be illuminated from within by LED lights, so that at night they would
I appear as a floating circle in the air of bright discs of many colors. It would be a highly visible and
dramatic presence in the park.
I
Construction
The core of the sculpture would be an 8 inch extra-heavy steel pipe (schedule 80) with a
' % inch wall thickness and an outside diameter of 8.625 inches, which would be welded to a
inch steel base plate. The base plate would be attached to a foundation designed by a structural
engineer licensed in the State of Texas. The top of the foundation and base plate would be 4—6
inches below grade, to allow for the wiring for the lights to be concealed below ground. Twelve
I
steel pipes, 2 1/2" schedule 40, would be arranged around the perimeter of the extra-heavy core
pipe. Each pipe would be bent at the same angle (shown in the elevation diagram) at a height of
' 9 feet from the bottom. Each of these pipes would be bolted to the heavy core pipe with four
bolts, 2 at the bottom and 2 just below the 9 foot height. Each pipe would have a circular flange
welded to the top, to receive the disc light fixture forms. Each pipe would be powder coated, a
permanent color coating system.
' The discs would be cast in clear urethane. The pigmentation i would
p g ou d be incorporated into
the material, not applied. Both the material and the pigment are uv-resistant and resistant to all
weather conditions. Each disc would be cast in 2 parts, as shown in the Disc Construction
Diagram. The bottom part would be attached to the steel flange at the top of each pipe with 4
bolts screwed into nuts glued to the interior.The top part would be attached to the bottom part
with 4 screws which,when loosened, would allow the top to be removed for maintenance of the
lights.The all-weather LED lights inside would not need replacement for many years (the ones in
' El Paso are still going after 5 years). If maintenance is necessary it could be accomplished easily.
' The wiring would be threaded from each fixture though each pipe to the bottom. From
there the wires would be routed through conduit to an all-weather junction box attached to the
' edge of the base plate. A photo switch would insure that the lights go on at dark and off when it
becomes light. Both conduit and junction box would be slightly underground, as mentioned
' above, and could be easily accessed for maintenance. All electrical components would conform
to codes applicable in Wylie.
' The sculpture would require virtuallyno maintenance.

Sites 1& 2
Proposal:
Entwine & Prairie Crossing

MICHAELSZABOSTUDIO
Wylie Thoroughfare Public Art—Project Overview & Descriptions
My concept for the two sites on Wylie's municipal complex trail is derived from the fascinating parallel I
found between the native Blackland Prairie and the history,community and identity of Wylie itself. An
ancient and delicately balanced ecosystem,the Blackland prairie has seen drastic change in the past century
that has depleted its dominance in North-Central Texas. But the prairie grasses that make up its core are
extremely strong and resilient. Their roots grow incredibly deep,often three times the height of the plant.
While the plant grows and dies each year,the roots live on all year round and can survive for decades
underground,through,fire,plowing or development,only to give life to new plants above the surface when
given the opportunity.
In my time spent visiting,experiencing and researching Wylie,I've found that it too has remarkably deep
roots with tenacious spirit. Once a small rural town utilizing the rich black soil of the region,in the past
few decades Wylie has now become part of the Dallas metroplex. Tripling in population in the last 15
years,it would be easy to expect a city in Wylie's situation to have lost some of its small town identity as
newcomers have poured in. I found quite the opposite to be true. Rather than the all too common extremes
that a growing city often experiences—loosing its roots or fighting change by seeing the newcomers as
outsiders—Wylie has struck an admirable balance between its deep roots and the future growth it will
undoubtedly be a part of. My proposed works,Entwine and Prairie Crossing,aim to enhance the
experience citizens and visitors have at the municipal complex and trails by illustrating how elegantly the
deep roots of people and place can take the lead in defining change and growth into the future.
Site 1-Entwine is first experienced as a dramatic beacon for drivers and pedestrians on Route 544 and
Country Club Road,or for those approaching on the path from the municipal center. Standing 30 feet tall,
the sculpture is an abstracted reference to the connection point between underground roots and above
ground grasses. The six forms are fabricated from brushed stainless steel and rich patina bronze,and seem
to dance with movements like prairie grasses in the wind. The satin fmish of the stainless steel softly
reflects the surrounding environment while the reds,browns,greens and blues of the bronze evoke the
changing colors of the prairie grasses through the seasons. The existing decomposed granite pad will have
plantings of native prairie grasses such as Big and Little Bluestem,Buffalograss and Indiangrass. The
sculpture will be dramatically lit with up-lights at night. In addition to the up-lights on the ground,the
connection of the six forms surround a point light that further emanates a glow in the center of the piece.
This focal point of the sculpture can signify the core connection Wylie has made between its roots of the
past and sprouts to the future.
Site 2-Prairie Crossing consists of an organic,undulating seating bench emerging from a proposed
pathway that would connect the main trail to the new parking lot. Spanning nearly 50 feet across,the
concrete bench provides a resting point at the beginning or end of a visitors walk along the trails of the
municipal complex. Echoing the materials of Entwine,ribbons of stainless steel and rich textured bronze
arch over the bench,crisscrossing each other in a dynamic web reaching over 10 feet tall at its highest. The
ribbons reference the beautiful chaos of prairie grass,giving a visitor the feeling of being"in"the prairie.
In the daytime the arches provide shade for a rest or a conversation while create intricate shadow designs
on the ground below. At night,a series of up-lights in the center line of the bench between the metal
arches light up the structure for a dramatic effect from Brown Street or for those approaching on the trail
for an evening walk.I look forward to working with the city to fine tune the placement of this piece in
order to incorporate appropriately into the future plans for the parking area and trailhead.

OPEN ARMS
A Two-Sculpture proposal for Wylie, Texas
By LATKA STUDIOS
August 25, 2016
THEME:
OPEN ARMS are two sculptures that celebrate the power of connections. This is a visual testament to the
strength achieved when people, cultures, countries come together to support one another. Each sculpture has
independent elements which connect midway, leaning on one another and become a stable interdependent
monument to the human spirit. Overall, the theme is the idea that by supporting each other, embracing our
responsibility and commitment to one another, we obtain our loftiest goals. The lighted tops are beacons,
shining a beautiful blue light. Each representing the enduring nature of community, steadfastly lighting the way
and marking the path. All of these qualities are powerfully embraced by the people of Wylie.
TITLE:
OPEN ARMS, each with graceful arching elements reaching upwards to the sky and
gently curving outward, are poised like arms in celebration. The simple gesture of these elements
speak of welcoming, appreciation, optimism and hope.
FORM:
Arches, curves, buttresses, beacons and columns are timeless forms that have been used throughout all
cultures. Latka Studios has drawn from these forms which have archetypal reverberations. They are
easily recognizable and serve as a connection to all people, past and future. Beneath each intersection of the
arches, is a place of repose and solace, and it can become a destination for hikers along the path.
SURFACE:
Much of the sculpture is off-white, making reference to the famous Texas limestone. It also highlights the
simple elegance of the forms, and classic timeless beauty. Areas near the base of the monuments feature
beautifully swirled regions of colored recycled glass. Teal, aqua, deep blues and purples, all the way to
maroon are represented. These colors speak of life-giving water, and seas that once covered this landscape,
which in turn created Texas limestone.
The textured surfaces are recycled colored glass, mother-of-pearl shell fragments, porcelain, and recycled
mirror set into concrete. All glass and other elements have been tumbled to reduce sharpness. The off-white
concrete ends of the arches are textured to give an organic broken-stone appearance, like they have been
carved from the limestone.
LIGHTED BEACON:
Sitting atop one arm of each sculpture is a lighted extension. These are constructed of heavy plasma-cut steel
plate that has been powder-coated a rich metallic blue on the inside and a matching off-white exterior. These
beacons will be internally lit with exterior low-maintenance and efficient LED lights, creating a fanciful but
organic design. Organically shaped openings allow for gentle indirect light to be reflected out, and interacting
with shapes revealed from the opposite side. Access panels allow for minimal maintenance that may be
required. Additionally, gentle up-lighting will light the lower interior region where arches join, and resemble the
after-glow of a bonfire.
CONSTRUCTION:
Each element is made from super-durable reinforced cast concrete. They are formed on level ground, with
integral connections for cranes to allow them to be transported and tilted into place on their foundations. Each
element is to be created in Colorado, and trucked to Texas for installation. One design incorporates a
very-stable tripod base which dramatically minimizes the stress of high winds for the tallest of the sculptures,
and the other features a widened two-legged base which provides similar stability for the smaller of the two.
MAINTENANCE:
OPEN ARMS requires minimal maintenance. The glass and concrete will not bleach or fade over time. The
entire sculptures will be sealed with a UV protective sealer and lower portions of the sculptures will have an
additional coat of sacrificial sealer. Should the sculptures be `tagged' the spray paint is easily removed with a
power washer, and the sealer can be reapplied. An access panel is providing to the lighting within the
beacons, but exterior LED lighting requires little maintenance, is highly efficient, and with long rated life span.

Public Art for Wylie Disc Golf Course

My guiding philosophy for designing public art is to celebrate the function, setting, and context of the site,
incorporate input from the community, and communicate this sculpturally. There is an aesthetic of function in
my work, thus I am attracted to the functions, activities of the site.

The proposed artwork uses the vocabulary of the circle and the spiral in forming a colorful and gestural
celebration of the essence of the park. The spiral suggests energy and propulsion of the disc at its end. At the
opposite end, a wind vane in the shape of a disc connects to the airborne aspect of the golfing activity and can
also give golfers an indication of wind direction as it may affect the path of long throws.
The disc will glow from top and bottom surfaces via backlit 3form rings. Flush mounted lights in the artwork
pedestals will provide additional illumination. The artwork will be fabricated from corten steel and have a
fluoropolymer coating for superior durability, color and gloss retention.
The following themes were suggested by the community for this artwork and I believe they apply to this
proposed artwork: Kinetic, Fun, Whimsical, Colorful, Lighting, Joyful, Flight, Lift, Graceful, Airy.
