Description:
“My main focus for the Prairie Light & Color environmental installation is to give a visual language for this site that is joyful, accessible, and acts as a visual identity that has the opportunity to constantly change throughout the day and seasons,” says Rolstad. “This arboreal theme is utilized as a visual compliment in an environment where the viewer can experience the installation from many viewpoints from the parkway and entering and leaving the station.” – Koryn Rolstad
