COSMIC FLOW I & II - PRESENTATION AND REVIEW OF INTAKE FORM 24
25
Nancy Keating (Artist) presented the pieces, followed by a multimedia presentation by Henry Mestetsky 26
(Executive Director, Carmel Redevelopment Commission). Afterward, the two answered committee questions. 27
Installation is planned for Spring 2023, on the new Carmel City Center Parking Garage - 50 Red Truck 28
Road (Primarily for CPD Headquarters use). The City does not own this lot. 29
The Carmel Common Council approved funding for the parking garage, including planned artwork. 30
The Street Department will maintain the completed artwork. 31
Why this design? It represents the never-ending flow of energy through the universe. 32
The bold, bright colors and white and silvery orbs will flow through the black background like the cosmos. 33
Constructed of glass, primarily from Kokomo. The benefit of glass is the effect of light striking. 34
Not recycled glass, as recycled glass cannot be colorized. 35
Designed to be seen from afar, with up and down lighting enhancing the pieces. 36
Another project of the artist: Community Mosaic Mural 37
The City sought out the artist, and no other artists were considered. 38
