Whispering Wind

Green Valley Ranch Park

Aurora, Colorado

Commissioned by Art in Public Places, City of Aurora

2024

Whispering Wind is the Signature Sculpture at the juncture of the two main paths in a new park. The sculpture has wrap-around seating and provides an oasis for visitors so that they can stop to rest and enjoy the views. It captures the wild spirit and beauty of this stark landscape. This is a monumental sculpture. Anything smaller and more delicate would be lost in the vast landscape.

May+Watkins was selected as one of three finalist for this commission. We created a model of our concept, and happily we were selected. May+Watkins created the sketches, models, plans, elevations and construction drawings. The work was fabricated in-house and installed by our team on site. We worked with the landscape architect throughout to effectively site the work.

“… From a distance the artwork makes a distinct visual statement and inspires curiosity with its complex curvilinear forms, encouraging people to come closer to explore it. Approaching the piece, the experience begins to change, as people begin to distinguish the organic shapes, materials, and colors. They discover a spectacular and inviting place to sit, rest, enjoy the view, have a picnic, and connect with friends…”Aurora Creates
