Harvest
About the Sculpture
Harvest, a sculpture in front of Pinnacle Bank Arena at Canopy and R streets, was dedicated in 2016.
From the artist’s website,
As the sun passes through its rich layers of stainless steel and glass, arrays of light and shadow are reflected outward, slowly moving through the plaza. At night, two rings of powerful light fixtures at the base illuminate its expansive gesture through programmed light sequences. The forms of the sculpture may suggest a sheaf of wheat, a fountain, or the supports from the historic train canopy immediately adjacent. The wheat sheaf symbolizes the bounty of the region. It also signifies strength, because bound together the strands of wheat are strong, but singly, they will break or bend. Fifty-five thousand pounds of polished stainless steel were used in the fabrication of “Harvest”, along with 420 panels of laminated glass and 80 stainless steel cables structurally linking the sculpture from top to bottom.
About the Artist
Ed Carpenter specializes in large-scale installations and has been working internationally since 1973. His artworks revolve around light, but he embraces commissions that force him to think of new approaches. Carpenter comes from a family of artists, his grandparent was a painter and sculptor and is the step-son of an architect, resulting in his interest in architectural sculpture.
